I'm no expert :). I understood that the information which usually was stripped from the rpm is now put in the debug package. I thought that spec-helper stripped the files before the information was added to the debug package. I've just looked more closely at the output and extracting debug info from /home/src/rpm/tmp/.. is printed *before* Stripping files...done So maybe strip_files should skip stripping the files under usr/lib/debug/. I'm sorry I didn't report this earlier (I found this out last Thursday), but this was during a lot of debugging and I was so happy I finally found the cause (gnome-terminal crashing), that I forgot to report this. -- Regards, Olav
