Hi,
today after upgrading to gnome-panel-2.31.90-1.fc14 from koji, casually i noted in abrt that this version of gnome-panel crashes in the background at every login, but with no alert in the system-tray. So i decided to install the necessary debuginfo packages, but it was a titanic work! :confused:
1. How can i find the package that ships a library? (in some cases removing the prefix lib, one obtains the name of the library, Ok. I ask: there exist a comand like <command> /usr/lib/libpingo.s.o.1 that gives the package from where it comes?)
2. Is there a simple way to install the debuginfo of the only installed packages?

Thank you

P.S. All debuginfo manually installed, but abrt refuses to report:
"The backtrace is unusable" :(

Hmmm.... abrt hasn't been loading debuginfo's since, I believe, the middle of June. Even manual installs of debuginfo's don't bring in enough of the files and the abrt-gui fails.
You can add to the comments here ... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623434

As far as how to do it manually, I discussed it in a rawhide thread a few weeks back, And yes, it takes a long time to get all the missing debuginfo's. I file manually or search for existing bugzillas now,

So if abrt has some problems, downloading the *debuginfo to report a bug related to <package-name>, the possible manuals alternatives are:

1. debuginfo-install <package-name>

2.1. find the packages that correspond to the missing debuginfo libraries, with
yum provides /usr/lib/libfoo.so.4 /usr/lib/libfoo2.so.3 (etc) or
rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libfoo.so.4 /usr/lib/libfoo2.so.3 (etc)
2.2 install these packages_name-debuginfo.
