Hi,
I wondered what the reason is that debuginfo packages seem to enter the
repos only at the successive push compared to the regular packages,
which ultimately means that debuginfo packages are available in updates
ca 1 day after the regular packages. From abrt-reported bugs where
people generate the backtraces locally, it occasionally happens that
they send incomplete backtraces due to mismatching debugsymbols, and it
would certainly help increasing the quality of backtraces if such cases
could be avoided (btw, can this also happen on the retrace server?).
A nice solution to ensure consistency could be to have each debuginfo
package require the exact version of the base package installed. Since
the debuginfo package however cannot know which base (sub)package it
should depend on, I wonder whether it could work if the package and all
subpackages should provide something like: Provides:
debuginfo-requirement(%{name}) = %{version}-%{release}?
Thanks,
Sandro
