Moreover ABRT does not install the whole debuginfo package but only copies the needed specific .debug files out of it somewhere - as know the ABRT people.
What happens if the software version N crashes, then the updates install a later version, and the ABRT tool is run afterwards? With updates coming fast and furious, this is not uncommon, and I think it leads to confusion when the old stack trace is interpreted against the debugging info from the different software version.
Unaware of the ABRT issue; But even with the installed debuginfo packages the problem exists: `yum update' gets the installed debuginfos out of sync https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432806 There are various Bugs referenced, such as: Debug info RPMs do not "require" exact maching binary rpm https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=151598
Currently YUM at least updates both the main package and its debuginfo through yum-plugin-auto-update-debug-info. The problem is with all the mirrors and daily Fedora updates the main repository and the debuginfo repository are commonly off-by-one and thus the debuginfo packages still do not match.
