Hi all,
I was updating some golang specs I've and switching them to use
go_generate_buildrequires.
I realized that some specs that are using it fail to build if `%global
debug_package %{nil}` is not set. Same spec with all BuildRequires
defined works just fine.
Example:
- Full spec (go2rpm):
https://mikel.olasagasti.info/tmp/fedora/golang-github-alecaivazis-survey-2.spec
- go_generate_buildrequires spec:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikelolasagasti/github-cli/main/golang-github-alecaivazis-survey-2.spec
- Full spec build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=79642572
- go_generate_buildrequires build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=79642147
Is this expected?
Is adding `%global debug_package %{nil}` correct or good practice for
this scenario?
Kind regards,

Hello,
Yes this is an issue I have noticed but I don't know where/what causes it.
I know that if we have a %build section it will cause the debug info to
be looked for. It does it too with %generate_buildrequires and I think
it shouldn't, but I don't know if this is a behavior triggered by rpm
itself or is it triggered somewhere else during the build process?
CC Panu and Devel to weigh in.
In the meantime, as long as you don't have a %build section and thus do
not produce a binaries, you can use %global debug_package %{nil}
Having to disable debug packages practically always indicates a bug in
the package - either packaging, upstream or both.
Typical causes for "error: Empty %files file
<...>/debugsourcefiles.list" are missing debug info in the build (eg -g
flag of gcc) and building outside the designated build directory.
Unfortunately diagnosing these from rpm isn't easy.
"%global debug_package %{nil}" is always a workaround and never a fix.
