# dnf5-debuginfo-install(8)

Debuginfo-Install Command

## NAME

dnf5-debuginfo-install - Debuginfo-Install Command

## SYNOPSIS

**dnf5 debuginfo-install \[options\] \<package-spec-NPFB\>...**

## DESCRIPTION

Install the associated debuginfo packages for a given package specification. The command temporary enables corresponding debug repository for each enabled repository using following algorithm. When enabled repository ID has suffix *-rpm* then it enables \<ID\>-debug-rpms. When enabled repository does not have suffix *-rpm* it enables repository using pattern \<ID\>-debuginfo.

When regular upgrade of debuginfo packages is expected, then it requires enabling of debug repository permanently using *config-manager* command.

## OPTIONS

- **--allowerasing**

  ```
  Allow removing of installed packages to resolve any potential dependency problems.
  ```

- **--skip-broken**

  ```
  Resolve any dependency problems by removing packages that are causing problems from the transaction.
  ```

- **--skip-unavailable**

  ```
  Allow skipping packages that are not available in repositories. All available packages will be installed.
  ```

- **--offline**

  ```
  Store the transaction to be performed offline. See offline command <#offline-command-ref-label>, dnf5-offline(8).
  ```

- **--transient**

  Applicable only on bootc (bootable containers) systems. Perform transactions using a transient overlay which will be lost on the next reboot. See also the persistence \<#persistence-options-label\> configuration option.

- **--store=PATH**

  ```
  Store the current transaction in a directory at the specified PATH instead of running it.
  The stored transaction can be performed by the replay command <#replay-command-ref-label>, dnf5-replay(8).
  Note that repository ids in the stored transaction are mangled to @stored_transaction(repo_id) this is required
  because during replaying the stored repositories are recreated and they might collide with already present repositories
  (this doesn't apply to the special @System repository).
  ```

## EXAMPLES

- **dnf debuginfo-install foobar**

  Install the debuginfo packages for the foobar package.

- **dnf upgrade --enablerepo=\*-debuginfo \<package-name\>-debuginfo**

  Upgrade debuginfo package of a \<package-name\>.

- **dnf upgrade --enablerepo=\*-debuginfo "\*-debuginfo"**

  Upgrade all debuginfo packages.
