On my Fedora 12 system, all of the 'debuginfo' [rawhide-debuginfo,fedora-debuginfo,updates-debuginfo,updates- testing-debuginfo] are disabled by default in the corresponding repo's under /etc/yum.repos.d/. As debuginfo-install makes use of these for retrieving all the information for crash reporting, this should not work but still in present case ABRT can download the debuginfo packages. How is all this gettig possible.
ABRT doesn't use the yum configuration nor does it install the debuginfo packages where yum would install them.
Please guide if i'm missing any thing, thanks in advance.
yum --enablerepo<repository>
True but irrelevant, as ABRT doesn't use a yum command line.
Then how does is it getting posible for ABRT to download the packeges, its makes use of YUM as i understand from the following lines copied from manual available for debuginfo-install [man debuginfo-install] used by ABRT for installing of debuginfo's.
"Using Yum" does not imply "executing 'yum'". More commonly a tool uses Yum's API. It can read the default Yum config file and enable/disable repositories at run-time. It could even generate its own Yum config on-the-fly.
