Why does gdb now give lots of warnings?

Hi,

the original problem:

Sorry for the delay, it is now hopefully improved in updates-testing:

Fedora 8: gdb-6.6-42.fc8 
	http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=32829
	https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/pending/gdb-6.6-42.fc8

Rawhide: gdb-6.7.1-11.fc9

It now prints:
	Missing separate debuginfo for /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6
	Try: yum --enablerepo='*-debuginfo' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/5c/a8a05c48617a1c4a32acda9f5651f78b4fe005

(more cut-n-paste friendly)

Yes, it will have to be split now into two parts, upstream one + a distro one.

If some installed rpm matches the file it now prints the message:
	Getting all the debuginfos: debuginfo-install xorg-x11-apps
(If the rpm database is locked it just prints a warning without waiting on it.)
