Proposed patch to restore old behavior
The behavior of "debugedit" has not changed, it was already reporting an error in previous updates of EL5.
However, with rpm-4.4.2.3 the script "find-debuginfo.sh" now stops if an error is reported by "debugedit", whereas it used to continue with the previous version rpm-4.4.2-48 that was shipping in Red hat Enterprise Linux up to 5.2.
As a result, some rpm that used to build with EL5.2 now fail in EL5.3. While the error is most likely in the source of the package itself, this is a change in behavior that is perceived as a regression ("it used to build, but not anymore").
The following (trivial) patch does not address the issue with debugedit, it just restores the old behavior so the script find-debuginfo.sh will not stop if "debugedit" fails, as it used to do up to EL 5.2.
Would that be acceptable for EL5.x?
