You need the ipa-server and slapi-nis debuginfo packages.  And all of 
the dependencies of 389 and ipa . . .  Grr - I wish the debuginfo 
packages were in the default channels . . .

See below - if none of these work because you are on Satellite and you 
cannot configure your Satellite with the correct channels/packages, let 
me know.

With the release of RHEL 6 the debuginfo packages are no longer provided 
via the Red Hat public FTP site. They have instead moved to Red Hat 
Network (RHN) classic or Red Hat Satellite for download.
Each base Red Hat channel now has a debug child channel. For example,
rhel-x86_64-server-6
    rhel-x86_64-server-6-debuginfo


For RHEL 6 systems registered via subscription-manager:

yum install yum-utils
yum repolist all | grep debug
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-debug-rpms


If the system is registered via subscription-manager, the associated 
repostory label ends in "debug-rpms". Enable it with yum-config-manager 
or subscription-manager, e.g.,
# yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-client-debug-rpms
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-client-debug-rpms

# yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-debug-rpms
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-debug-rpms

If the system is registered to RHN Classic, add the channel to the 
system profile in the Customer Portal, or with rhn-channel:
# rhn-channel -a -c rhel-`uname -i`-client-6-debuginfo -u <Red Hat 
login> -p <Password>

# rhn-channel -a -c rhel-`uname -i`-server-6-debuginfo -u <Red Hat 
login> -p <Password>


     Note: if rhn-channel states that the channel does not exist, use 
the following command to verify the correct channel label in the list of 
available channels:

# rhn-channel -L

to verify the correct channel name in the list of available channels.

Additionally, the RHN user interface has been changed to link to the 
debuginfo packages from the corresponding binary RPMs. For example:

https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/packages/details/Overview.do?pid=590664

Note that the "Associated Debug Info Package(s)" link at the bottom goes 
straight to the debuginfo package instead of to ftp.redhat.com.
