I ran into a problem with midi-disasm from soundfount-utils. I tried
to debug it but installing soundfont-utils-debuginfo only brings in
the symbol tables, not sources.
Perhaps the problem is particular to that rpm, or similar ones?
Is soundfont-utils one of several rpms that belong to the same
installable package?
For instance, when I run "dnf debuginfo-install coreutils" [on Fedora 25]
then it installs the sources in /usr/src/debug/coreutils-8.25
and I can look at src/date.c for the source to /bin/date.
This is the old way of doing things, which worked; debuginfo packages
contained both debug symbols and source. This had the disadvantage of
large debuginfo packages: Octave is 342MB, qt is 119MB, glibc is 90MB.
Debug symbols are essential for abrt-style automatic stack dump
telemetry, so it was proposed to split -debuginfo into small debug
symbol package and separate -debugsource package; this hasn't been done
to all packages though (I am not sure how much manual work the packager
has to do to accomplish that).
My problem is that I can't find out where is the source of my package!
it apparently was split off but I don't know where it went.
