Description Hans de Goede 2006-03-12 07:30:41 UTC 
Try running rpmlint on any -debuginfo rpm on a fully up2date rawhide, it gives:
[hans@shalem t]$ rpmlint
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/adime-debuginfo-2.2.1-2.x86_64.rpm 
W: adime-debuginfo objdump-failed 

The probem is the use of the -T option which doesnot work on .so.x.debug, hre I
try to use it on another .so.x.debug file:
[hans@shalem t]$ LC_ALL=C objdump --headers --private-headers -T
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libgda-3.so.3.0.0.debug &> /dev/null; echo $?
1

Without -T:
[hans@shalem t]$ LC_ALL=C objdump --headers --private-headers
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libgda-3.so.3.0.0.debug &> /dev/null; echo $?
0

Please change romlint to not use the -T objdump option on .so.x.debug files.

Fix

Upstream CVS now has the attached patch, it will be included in the next
package revision.
Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2006-03-12 10:03:49 UTC 
Oh, by the way, using objdump -T on a *.debug file extracted from an executable
instead of a library does not fail, but doesn't seem to print too useful info
either.  What do you think, should -T be dropped from the objdump arguments only
for *.debug extracted from *.so*, or left as is in the patch?
Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2006-03-12 10:05:18 UTC 
I have no real opinion on this, just take the easy route and leave it as is.
Comment 4 Ville Skyttä 2006-04-11 18:24:19 UTC 
Done in 0.76-1.
