Hi,

I've rebuild an rpm and generated the debuginfo file, and now I wish to make
use of the debuginfo file for debugging.

I've searched the web, high and low, and I've gone thru the /usr/share/doc/
hierarchy looking for clues (especially the rhel- subdirectories), and I can't
find a single reference as to how to use these for debugging.

Has anyone debugged an installed rpm w/ the debuginfo files before ?


I could be wrong here... 


Actually, I probably am.  :-(  Was thinking about something totally
different.


You provoked into checking:-)

I chose an rpm at random:
root ns ~]# rpm -qip /var/local/mirrors/linux/Fedora/3/updates/x86_64/debug/netatalk-debuginfo-1.6.4-4.x86_64.rpm

A check of the contents reveals one does indeed need both.


Note hat this applies to FC too:-)
