[CentOS-devel] debuginfo repo and debuginfo-install

[Dan Bolser]

Hi, I used

sudo debuginfo-install firefox


To get the debugging packages necessary to run firefox from within gdb
and get some meaningful stack trace output - see
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3258


To make this work properly, I installed the 'debuginfo-repo' like this:

more /etc/yum.repos.d/debuggery.repo
[debuggery]
name=CentOS-$releasever - DebugInfo
baseurl=http://debuginfo.centos.org/$releasever/$basearch/
priority=1


However, it seems there is a problem with the pango package in that
repo, because when I fire up firefox within gdb I get the following
warnings:

(gdb) run -P "Local Disk"
Starting program: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/firefox -P "Local Disk"
(no debugging symbols found)

This seems strange, because looking at the output of this:

[dbolser at cricket ~]$ yum list installed | grep pango
pango.i386                               1.14.9-3.el5.centos    installed
pango-debuginfo.i386                     1.14.9-3.el5.centos    installed
pango-devel.i386                         1.14.9-3.el5.centos    installed


Seems to suggest that all the package versions match.

Also, for the sake of yum, how come the debuginfo packages do not
depend on their version matched package counterpart?


Thanks for any help, and sorry if this is the wrong place to post such
a message - please just let me know where I should have sent the
email.


All the best,

Dan.
