Need yum repo for debuginfo

MgFrobozz · #1 12th February 2009, 07:13 PM

I'm trying to debug a firefox 3.0.6 crash under fc9, and it tells me I need debuginfo for firefox. I tried the yum install below, but it didn't work. I discovered there was no yum repo for hrel-debuginfo, then I found one from an older fc release and installed it, but the ftp page isn't there.

How do I install firefox debuginfo?

Code:

# When debugging firefox ...
> firefox -g
...
Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install firefox.i386

# This didn't find it ...
> yum install debuginfo-install firefox.i386

# Neither did this ...
> yum install debuginfo firefox.i386

# I added this package ...
> cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo
[rhel-debuginfo]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/Debuginfo/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

# But it couldn't find the ftp site ...
> yum install debuginfo-install firefox.i386

and i take it for some reason you can not use the standard fedora-debug
of coerce there is no rhel repo for fedora ,fedora is not rhel 5.2
and the package name IS " firefox-debuginfo.i386 "
NOT debuginfo-install firefox.i386 or debuginfo firefox.i386
fedora.repo ( do this for all except "testing" and "rawhide" )

Code:

[fedora-debuginfo]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Debug
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/debug/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-debug-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

change "enabled=0" to "enabled=1"
THEN run

Code:

su -
yum install firefox-debuginfo

Thanks, JohnVV ... I hadn't noticed that "enabled" was set to 0. I fixed it, ran "yum install firefox-debug", and now have ...

Code:

> rpm -qv firefox-debuginfo
firefox-debuginfo-3.0.4-1.fc10.i386

However, "firefox -g" still tells me I've got the wrong version debuginfo (3.0.4, instead of 3.0.6). Is there another repo that has the debuginfo for the current release of firefox?

Code:

Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install firefox-3.0.6-1.fc10.i386

Your info is outdated

Code:

su
debuginfo-install firefox
