AT least for the directory a simple yum call should suffice:
yum --disablerepo '*' --enablerepo fedora\*  whatprovides /usr/lib/debug

But it shows that a lot (all?) debuginfo packages own the directory
which probably needs to be fixed in rpm itself.

I have filed a bug against filesystem: BZ 911831.

I get 46 owners of /usr/lib/debug, that can't be all debug packages...

Shall we file a bug against rpm, saying that claiming the complete path
doesn't really work? I see the problems here, if rpm shouldn't claim the
complete path /usr/lib/debug/lib/whatever, the part to claim is more or
less arbitrary.


Multiple owned directories might not be "packaging purist clean" :) but since -debuginfo packages are auto-generated and thus kinda guaranteed to be non-conflicting, it's just the less ugly option when the alternative is leaving empty directories behind. Which is what would happen if -debuginfo packages didn't own *all* the directories they put files into.
