Several problems related to debuginfo were found in the openoffice.org-3.2.1-19.6.el6_0.5 package. These issues might affect crash analysis done by Automatic Bug Reporting Tool and its retrace server, and also prevent proper debugging of crashes via GDB.

Debuginfo symbolic links pointing to another path
-------------------------------------------------
Debuginfo package includes a symbolic link to each binary that has the debugging symbols stored there. For openoffice.org, 8 symbolic links do not point to the right binary, and that makes it impossible to use build ids from a coredump to get a list of packages required by it. Usually, this is a packaging error caused usually by placing identical binary into several locations instead of creating a symlink. If one copy of the binary is SUID/SGID, it is not possible to use symlink. You can add a dependency on bug #727872 and rebuild openoffice.org when that bug is fixed.

This issue has been solved in Fedora by /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh creating additional symlinks for identical binaries. However, symlinks should be used instead of duplicating a binary when possible.

Source file missing in debuginfo package
----------------------------------------
Multiple source files that were used by the compiler to generate a binary are missing from the debuginfo package. This is usually caused by the build script creating temporary source files during the build and deleting them after usage, or by moving source files between directories. Missing source files in debuginfo packages make debugging of crashes more difficult.

debuginfo package: openoffice.org-debuginfo-3.2.1-19.6.el6_0.5.i686
  debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/openoffice.org/basis3.2/program/libhwp.so.debug
    missing source: /usr/src/debug/OOO320_m19/hwpfilter/source/lex.yy.c
    missing source: /usr/src/debug/OOO320_m19/hwpfilter/source/grammar.y
    missing source: /usr/src/debug/OOO320_m19/hwpfilter/source/lexer.l

Please consider changing the package build script (if that is the cause of this issue) to keep the source files on their compilation place, so rpmbuild can find them when generating debuginfo package.

No .debug_info section in a debug file
--------------------------------------
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/lib/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libstlport_gcc.so.debug
package: openoffice.org-debuginfo-3.2.1-19.6.el6_0.5.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.
