ABRT doesn't use debuginfo-install, it uses abrt-debuginfo-install, 
which is run by abrtd, running as a daemon (root). 
abrt-debuginfo-install (a shell script) puts the packages it gets 
into /var/cache/abrt, rather than installing them normally, so they 
will need to be downloaded again if they are to be used for local 
debugging.
