Yast refuses to install the glibc-debuginfo package
Last modified: 2008-05-27 07:53:42 UTC
This issue can be reproduced as follows: * Install OpenSUSE 10.3. * Perform an online update. * Add the debug repository to the software repositories. * Try to install glibc-debug. * Result: yast displays an error message that installing glibc-debug would invalidate the atom glibc-2.6.1-18.3.i586. This might be caused because the debug RPM's are missing in the repository with online updates (http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/rpm/x86_64/). I experienced this issue not only on x86_64, but also on ppc.

Provided the requested Yast2 logs.
The problem is that the debug info for the updated glibc package is missing. The update repo (http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/rpm/x86_64/) contains glibc-2.6.1-18.3.x86_64.rpm while the debug repo (http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/debug) contains glibc-debuginfo-2.6.1-18.x86_64.rpm. I don't know what's the policy for debug info of updated packages and who is resposible for this problem. Coolo?
