Bug ID: 32063
Summary: let debuginfod-find locate pre-installed
(/usr/lib/.debug or similar) exec / .debug files
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: debuginfod
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Sometimes a user will go to the trouble of dnf-installing some debuginfo, or
some executable may still be the live one in /usr/bin/* (rather than expired
due to a dnf-update, with an old copy still running). If so, debuginfod-find
might want to return paths to system location files rather than the debuginfod
cache.
This might not be necessary or appropriate in the client side C code, as it is
usually invoked as a *fallback* to system paths not being found. ... But some
applications might directly call debuginfod_find_* APIs, rather than the
searching elfutils paths, in which case looking in system paths might be
appropriate.
