            Bug ID: 28559
           Summary: Shared libraries without execution permissions are
                    ignored
           Product: debugedit
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: find-debuginfo
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: christian.morales.vega at gmail dot com
                CC: debugedit at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

find-debuginfo only considers files with execution permissions
(https://sourceware.org/git/?p=debugedit.git;a=blob;f=scripts/find-debuginfo.in;h=b07a52fe4b983bc7c9c5e12414d68bb91bbe7ea3;hb=f62fdfc7e8ddb9887f91a021636a4b430c76ec05#l415).
But not everybody thinks giving execution permissions to shared libraries,
specially by default, is a good idea; but the debug information from them needs
to be extracted.

OpenSUSE even has this patch saying '-or -name "*.so*"'
(https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/rpm/finddebuginfo.diff)

--- Comment #1 from Panu Matilainen <pmatilai at redhat dot com> ---
Yup, that would be a leftover from rpm days, where the executable bit was
abused as a enabler/disabler for dependency generation and also debuginfo
generation. It was always a hack and makes even less sense now.
