I have no idea who came up with this, but I just fell over a gdb that teached me to use zypper while
debugging a problem I’m having:
Missing separate debuginfo for /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
Try: zypper install -C "debuginfo(build-id)=41d4f203d690d7db47fbcc38c3f47a2cdcc6848f"
And so I did, and it installed glibc-debuginfo. Smart!
Both comments and pings are currently closed.
This seems extremely helpful, in this case.
Could these helpers be stored away and applied automatically? Imagine a non-technical user being given some line command to run.
Yes, you could use a script like I proposed in //lizards.opensuse.org/2009/04/27/whats-new-in-112-install-debuginfo-package-by-build-id/. We could add that to the gdb package for instance.
