[SOLVED] glibc debuginfo

[mla]

I was told by the GNU debugger tells me

Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install glibc-2.17-7.2.mga3.x86_64

But doing so resulted in

# debuginfo-install glibc-2.17-7.2.mga3.x86_64
No package named glibc-debuginfo
Something went wrong, make sure your Debug media are configured properly

So I added all debug media. What I get now is

# debuginfo-install glibc-2.17-7.2.mga3.x86_64

$MIRRORLIST: media/debug/core/updates_testing/glibc-debuginfo-2.17-7.2.mga3.x86_64.rpm
aria2 failed: exited with 3

Failed to download glibc-debuginfo-2.17-7.2.mga3.x86_64.rpm

Same happens if I use urpmi or the gui front-end in the control center. In all other respects my updates work just fine.

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Failed to download glibc-debuginfo-2.17-7.2.mga3.x86_64.rpm

this could be due to the repository you are using.
you can try to configure another repo or
download the file and install it manually:

something like:

Code: Select all

(as user) wget http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/mageia/distrib/3/x86_64/media/debug/core/updates/glibc-debuginfo-2.17-7.2.mga3.x86_64.rpm
(as root) rpm -i glibc-debuginfo-2.17-7.2.mga3.x86_64.rpm

Thanks, that did the trick.

What exactly did the trick? Using another mirror, updating your repos or downloading manually?

The "trick" was accomplished by following the suggestion given -- i.e. by pulling in the RPM and installing it.
