This does suck, but the bigger problem is that debuginfo packages are
not updated at all - not ever - unless you either
a) use yum instead of PackageKit
b) manually enable the updates-debug repository
So requiring the exact version of the base package will only work if
that gets fixed first.
Oh, I never noticed this! I take the reason the debuginfo packages do
not live in the "normal" repos is that one wants to reduce the
repodata/filelist size? Could the current situation be improved by an
approach similar to:
- Move the debuginfo repo definitions to separate files
- Have a package fedora-release-debug (or similar) install the repo file
in /etc/yum.repos.d. The repos would be enabled by default when installed.
- Have all debuginfo packages depend on fedora-release-debug
- (ugly) Have debuginfo-install install the repo file before proceeding
as before.
?
Thanks,
Sandro
