I am running into problems on my EC2 box running Python in an elastic-beanstalk container. In order to debug the problem, I need to attach a debugger to it and debug python with python symbols.

When I attach GDB to the process, I get this error:

Reading symbols from /usr/bin/python...(no debugging symbols found)...done. 
Attaching to program: /usr/bin/python, process 31238
Reading symbols from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2...Reading symbols

Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install

However, when I run debug-info install python-2.6-2.23.amzn1.noarch, it doe

Could not find debuginfo for main pkg: 1:python-2.6-2.23.amzn1.noarch
No debuginfo packages available to install

Any idea how to get these symbols on the box?

As per amazon support:

The Amazon Linux images all have the repository for debuginfo disabled by default as they would not be needed in production. You can enable them in two ways:

  1. Edit the two following files and change enabled=0 to enabled=1 in the debuginfo section of:

    /etc/yum.repos.d/amzn-main.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/amzn-updates.repo

    Then run the following command to install the debuginfo for python 2.6:

    sudo yum install python26-debuginfo

  2. To temporarily enable the same repositories just for the case of the install that you need, you could run the following command on it's own:

    sudo yum install --enablerepo=amzn-main-debuginfo,amzn-updates-debuginfo python26-debuginfo

For Amazon Linux 2 instead either:

  1. Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/amzn2-core.repo as above before installing
  2. Or to run all in one command (as root): 
    yum install --enablerepo=amzn2-core-debuginfo python3-debuginfo

    Do you have any idea what your options are if you need versions of the debuginfo packages older than what are in the Amazon yum repos? Is there any archive for older Amazon RPMs? – Nathan Craike Jun 23 '14 at 00:02
