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 of problem:
SystemTap Beginners Guide for RHEL6 specifies to configure a yum repo for downloading the debuginfo, instead of subscribing to the debuginfo channel in rhn/satellite/rhsm as per: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/42666

Additional info:

For clarification, The SystemTap Beginners Guide for RHEL6 (https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/SystemTap_Beginners_Guide/using-systemtap.html#using-setup), specifies to setup a yum repo for the debuginfo packages, specifically to a public facing ftp site that no longer hosts debuginfo for RHEL6 packages (the ftp site still hosts debuginfo packages for RHEL5).

In order to access debuginfo packages with RHEL6, it is necessary to subscribe to the debuginfo channel in RHN, Satellite or RHSM depending on how the host is registered.  This process is described in the following KB article: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/42666.

It looks as if the setup section regarding the debuginfo was just not updated to reflect this location change for debuginfo packages from RHEL5 to RHEL6.

Alright, thanks for that. This has already been addressed.
