debuginfo-install package  

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLES

WARNING MESSAGES

Could not find debuginfo for:
if you run debuginfo-install for a wildcard or glob. Debuginfo packages are not necessary for "noarch" RPMs; these will generate a warning message. Additionally, On 64-bit systems, no multilib debuginfo packages are published, so if you have 32-bit packages installed, these will also generate warning messages.
