Description Jan Kratochvil 2016-03-30 20:58:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
dnf debuginfo-install installs more *-debuginfo packages than asked for.
I have no idea why because rpm -q --requires even does not print anything for the *-debuginfo packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-plugins-core-0.1.19-1.fc24.noarch

How reproducible:
Tried once, probably always.

Steps to Reproduce:
dnf debuginfo-install plasma-workspace-5.5.5-7.fc24.x86_64

Actual results:
Install  202 Packages
Total download size: 1.0 G
Installed size: 4.2 G

Expected results:
Install  1 Package
Total download size: 31 M
Installed size: 122 M

Sure it is not too serious problem.

I do not know if it behaves differently in different version, I have tried just this F-24 dnf version.
Comment 1 Igor Gnatenko 2016-04-04 08:36:59 UTC 
Hi Jan,

In general debuginfo-install plugins works like:

1. Get all packages which you want to install debuginfo (in your case - plasma-workspace)
2. Get all depepndecies (including dependencies of dependencies)
3. Install debuginfo for all of them.

Probably we should introduce some flag which will install only what you requested. What do you think?

Regarding output of rpm -q --reques it's more about RPM, not DNF. It just don't have dependencies between debuginfo packages (in fact those are just +- source code).

OK, I did not know that.

OK, yes, that looks as the best idea.  GDB can then suggest the DNF command with such a flag.

Will add this flag.

Is there any ideas how gdb is generating that list?

> Is there any ideas how gdb is generating that list?

Yes, it was written by me and it is still a Fedora/RHEL-only patch so far.
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/gdb.git/tree/gdb-6.6-buildid-locate-rpm.patch

Missing separate debuginfos, use: dnf debuginfo-install ...
For each {main executable,shared library} absolute filename it does:
  rpm -qf THATNAME
and for those dat do not have "stripsuffix(%{sourcerpm})-debuginfo.%{arch}" installed it appends: %{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}

> For each {main executable,shared library} absolute filename it does:

Those shared libraries are iterated from those really loaded in the debuggee's memory.

Comment 8 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2017-01-26 11:29:34 UTC 
The flag as suggested in comment 1 to only install what was requested would be very useful.
For example, asking for the debuginfo for qemu-system-x86 gets 1.7GB download/7.5GB installed with dozens of packages, but when you're fighting a problem either in the core of qemu or in just one area 90% of that is wasted.

yeah, I know...

Just don't have time to work on it.
Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 09:56:44 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.
Comment 11 Jaroslav Rohel 2017-06-06 10:05:32 UTC 
Change of behavior of command 'debuginfo-install' to install requested packages. Because old solution installs a lot of useless packages.
Gdb/whatsoever will tell you what to install.
