Here is what happened when I tried the experiment.  I uninstalled  the
version I had built and ran the following.

# debuginfo-install audacity
enabling fedora-debuginfo
Reading repository metadata in from local files
enabling livna-i386-debuginfo
Reading repository metadata in from local files
enabling updates-debuginfo
Reading repository metadata in from local files
enabling livna-debuginfo
Reading repository metadata in from local files
No debuginfo packages available to install
