The command line length limit is probably around 128 KB on Linux. The package metadata contains only a few items. The examples given in this bug report are real world examples. So even with encoding this example is around 250 characters. With longer package/version and added debuginfod URL, you might get 500 or up to 1000 characters. This is probably still far enough away from the command line length limit. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
