Thanks, that was very fast!
Yes, I do see all the packages in fastbugs. I'll wait a bit before
installing till debuginfo packages will become available, since I don't
want to make glibc debuginfo non-compatible (they will eventually,
right? I understand that glibc and some other debuginfos are large and
mirrors take time to catch up with these).

I must say, I'm so pleasantly surprised with how fast updates appear in
SL and that debuginfo is nearly always (aside from few mirror lag
issues) up to date, it's really breath of fresh air after Centos that
I've been using for years before, to always be able to analyze with
perf & oprofile because all the debuginfo is actually there and gets
updates together with packages. Please keep up the good work, SL is
definitely the best distro for many of my tasks.
