A problem related to debuginfo was found in the ricci-0.16.2-35.el6 package. This issue might affect crash analysis done by Automatic Bug Reporting Tool and its retrace server, and also prevent proper debugging of crashes via GDB. When a binary is compiled without gcc's -g option, no debugging information is generated and rpmbuild creates almost-empty debuginfo file, which cannot be used for debugging. Please fix the package build process to use $RPM_OPT_FLAGS, which include the -g option among others. path: /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ccs_sync.debug package: ricci-debuginfo-0.16.2-35.el6.i686 This issue can be investigated and tested by using eu-readelf tool from the elfutils package. Use `eu-readelf --section-headers /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/<debuginfofile>.debug` to see if debuginfo file contains .debug_info section. It is supposed to be there. (This bug was detected and filed by a script.)
Too late for 6.2, bumping to 6.3.
