RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Karel Klíč 2011-08-08 15:20:35 UTC 
Several problems related to debuginfo were found in the qt3-3.3.8b-29.el6 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.

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: qt3-debuginfo-3.3.8b-29.el6.i686
  debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/qt-3.3/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so.debug
    missing source: /usr/src/debug/qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/plugins/src/sqldrivers/sqlite/parse.y
    missing source: /usr/src/debug/qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/plugins/src/sqldrivers/sqlite/parse.c
  debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin/moc.debug
    missing source: /usr/src/debug/qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/src/moc/y.tab.c
    missing source: /usr/src/debug/qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/src/moc/lex.yy.c

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/qt-3.3/bin/qmake.debug
package: qt3-debuginfo-3.3.8b-29.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.)
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-08-08 15:40:54 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
Comment 3 Than Ngo 2011-10-20 15:21:05 UTC 
it looks like the buildscript script creating temporary source files during the build and deleting them after usage,
Comment 5 Jan Kurik 2017-12-06 11:36:26 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:

http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle

This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Production 3 Phase and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Note that a strong business justification will be required for re-evaluation. Red Hat Customer Support can be contacted via the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following URL:
