[openFATE 308138] Easy way to install corresponding debuginfo RPM for all existing packages
Feature added by: Silviu Marin-Caea (silviumc) Feature #308138, revision 1 Title: Easy way to install corresponding debuginfo RPM for all existing packages openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Silviu Marin-Caea (silviumc) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: KDE4 applications crash more often than they should. The bugreporting helper that pops up is not user friendly. It expects the user to know what particular debuginfo RPMs to install in order to get a useful bug report. It also expects the user to toil through a long "wizard" that asks a lot of questions. It's not cool to punish the user on top of an application crash. Does KDE hate us or what? The user shouldn't have to do anything more than giving the accept to send the crash information or not. Examples: Firefox, Windows. If KDE couldn't come up with something easier than this, at least SUSE should do something to work around it. My suggestion would be a way to install all debuginfo RPMs for every package that's already installed. This way, all bugreports will be useful. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want to get statistic data so we can focus on bugs that crash KDE applications -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308138
