I just got a crash in kde plasma. Traceback is not useful, because of missing debug pacakges.
Seems to happen more frequently recently. The latest backtraces I've seen in bugzilla all were missing dozens of debuginfo packages.
I'm told I can reload after 'installing the needed packages', but there is no clue what packages are needed.
ABRT once told me to use debuginfo-install, but it doesn't [or can't] get that hint right if an app uses plugins/modules from separate packages.
A bit of a mystery. It seems sometimes abrt will go ahead and download needed debuginfo packages, but other times (like today), it doesn't, and doesn't offer any clue what packages are missing.
Either way, still not very user friendly.
It would be an improvement if it worked. With dozens of missing debuginfo packages and missing "steps on how to reproduce a problem" the filed tickets are close to useless.
