Automatically install -debuginfo packages for all installed packages in OpenSUSE (tested on 13.1)

gistfile1.sh

#!/bin/sh

zypper packages -i 2>/dev/null | cut -d'|' -f3 | sort -u | sed -n 's/^ \([a-z0-9-]*\)\s\+/\1-debuginfo/p' | xargs zypper search -u -t package | cut -d'|' -f2 | sed -n 's/^\s//;s/\s\+$//gp' | tail -n+2 | xargs sudo zypper install

thanks for that

FYI, this misses packages because the regex ^ \([a-z0-9-]*\)\s\+ doesn't match packages with + or _ in their names.

For example it misses libstc++6 and libopenssl1_0_0.

Here's a version with that fixed:

zypper packages -i 2>/dev/null | tail -n +5 | cut -d'|' -f3 | sort -u | sed -n 's/^ \([^ ]*\)\s\+/\1-debuginfo/p' | xargs zypper search -u -t package | tail -n +5 | cut -d'|' -f2 | sed -n 's/^\s//;s/\s\+$//gp' | xargs sudo zypper install

@ubernostrom, you might be interested in subscribing to https://forums.opensuse.org/t/how-to-automatically-install-corresponding-debuginfo-package-during-installation-and-update/173513. Many thanks for your method, although it takes an extraordinarily long time to invoke for me.
