I’ve been using CachyOS for a couple of years. Every time I’ve tried to query its debuginfod server, I’ve always received a 502 response.
Ultimately, my goal is to get debug symbols for proton-mail (provided by cachyos/proton-mail 1.6.0-2), as that’s segfaulting on my system. There is no proton-mail-debug package (as far as I’ve found). I’ll start with a more common binary, zstd, for testing debuginfod in this post.
I tried a simple test to manually retrieve debug symbols for zstd (provided by cachyos-v3/zstd 1.5.7-2), which failed:
$ debuginfod-find debuginfo /usr/bin/zstd
Server query failed: No such file or directory
This is similar for proton-mail:
$ debuginfod-find debuginfo /usr/bin/proton-mail
Server query failed: No such file or directory
On the other hand, this works for cat (provided by core/coreutils 9.6-2):
$ debuginfod-find debuginfo /usr/bin/cat
/home/nisavid/.cache/debuginfod_client/2a384d466b1e0da14aa577d2df7a7cea395609bd/debuginfo
I have my DEBUGINFOD_URLS set up with both the Arch and the CachyOS servers:
$ print $DEBUGINFOD_URLS
https://debuginfod.archlinux.org https://debuginfod.cachyos.org
I also tried with the federated elfutils debuginfod server:
$ DEBUGINFOD_URLS='https://debuginfod.elfutils.org' debuginfod-find debuginfo /usr/bin/zstd
Server query failed: No such file or directory
$ DEBUGINFOD_URLS='https://debuginfod.elfutils.org' debuginfod-find debuginfo /usr/bin/proton-mail
Server query failed: No such file or directory
$ DEBUGINFOD_URLS='https://debuginfod.elfutils.org' debuginfod-find debuginfo /usr/bin/cat
/home/nisavid/.cache/debuginfod_client/2a384d466b1e0da14aa577d2df7a7cea395609bd/debuginfo
For zstd, I can get the debug symbols by installing cachyos-v3/zstd-debug 1.5.7-2. However, for proton-mail, there appears to be no proton-mail-debug package.
I’m relatively new to Arch/CachyOS and debuginfod. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a persistent issue with the CachyOS debuginfod server? Can I retrieve the proton-mail debug symbols from somewhere, or is it necessary to build them myself?
