            Bug ID: 308411
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.0 (KDE4)
          Priority: NOR

           Summary: Crash reporting assistant cannot install debug symbols
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: mothlight at fastmail.fm
          Hardware: Fedora RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: drkonqi

Something crashes. Crash assistant appears. Pressing 'install debug symbols'
button pops up a terminal window, it doesn't install anything. Unable to report
a crash because debug symbols cannot be installed.

The problem appears to be that in the terminal window, it is calling the
command 
'pkexec debuginfo-install'

Not 
'pkexec debuginfo-install ktorrent'

Because drkonqi doesn't specify the package to install debug symbols for, the
command fails and symbols can never be installed by the assistant. The only
workaround is to go to a terminal and manually enter 
'debuginfo-install ktorrent'

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
drkonqi knows what package it needs debug symbols for. It should be able to
call the install command correctly.

$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/libexec/kde4/drkonqi
kde-runtime-4.9.2-1.fc17.x86_64
