I was trying to do: debuginfo-install `rpm -qa | grep -v debuginfo` so I will be ready to give a good backtrace when something crashes. However, I found that xz-debuginfo and lzma-debuginfo conflict, as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522255
This was marked NOTABUG, and I was told to remove lzma-debuginfo. But this package is wanted by debuginfo-install for *something* I have currently installed. It seems to me that debuginfo packages released for the same platform simply shouldn't conflict with each other? If this is a fixable problem, is it something that can be added to the Auto QA system?

just to be sure run:
rpm -qa --nofiles --nodigest
make sure you don't have any lingering issues.
but I suspect you have lzma and xz installed separately?

This just produces a list of all installed RPMs... did you mean "rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest"? That does not produce any errors or warnings.

I do not have the lzma RPM installed, but I do have lzma-libs installed (which comes from the lzma source RPM). The dependency chain looks like this:
: rpm -e xz error: Failed dependencies: xz = 4.999.8-0.8.beta.20090817git.fc11 is needed by (installed) xz-lzma-compat-4.999.8-0.8.beta.20090817git.fc11.i586
: rpm -e xz-lzma-compat error: Failed dependencies: lzma is needed by (installed) man-1.6f-20.fc11.i586
: rpm -e lzma-libs error: Failed dependencies: liblzmadec.so.0 is needed by (installed) libarchive-2.6.2-1.fc11.i586
: rpm -e libarchive error: Failed dependencies: libarchive.so.2 is needed by (installed) PackageKit-glib-0.4.9-1.fc11.i586 libarchive.so.2 is needed by (installed) PackageKit-browser-plugin-0.4.9-1.fc11.i586 libarchive.so.2 is needed by (installed) PackageKit-0.4.9-1.fc11.i586
So I guess anyone who has "PackageKit" and "man" installed and wants to install all needed debuginfo packages should run into this conflict. (As I would expect the AutoQA system to do?)
