Using debuginfo packages in Redhat

Redhat provide debuginfo packages but not tell us so much how to use it. Here is a simple instruction to use debuginfo packages.
First this is important to know that a debuginfo package contains only debug symbol not the executable. Therefore we need to install both normal package and the corresponding debuginfo and of course their version must be matched.
Installation
Make sure that repository of debuginfo package is configured properly as follows

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo 
[rhel-debuginfo]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/Debuginfo/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

To install debuginfo package, we have to specify --enablerepo rhel-debuginfo as yum option

root@localhost ~]#yum install --enablerepo rhel-debuginfo httpd-debuginfo

root@localhost ~]#yum install httpd

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q -a | grep httpd
httpd-debuginfo-2.2.3-43.el5_5.3
httpd-2.2.3-43.el5_5.3

Usage
To get use just start gdb session with a normal executable

[root@localhost ~]# gdb /usr/bin/ab
