Normally, you know which software you debug, so you would simply run
debuginfo-install PACKAGENAME
e.g. "debuginfo-install glibc", and that may also pull in dependencies
(additional -debuginfo packages).

For above error messages, you would need to run a repoquery and find
out which -debuginfo package provides that filename. Note that you
may need to enable the -debuginfo repos explicitly when you want to
query them or install from _without_ using the "debuginfo-install"
tool.
