You probably do NOT want to skip upgrading the RPM database.
It keeps track of everything that's installed on your system, including dependencies. When you install anything, your installation tool will either automatically install dependencies or tell you to. It would be bad news if the database doesn't know what's installed.
BTW, which distro are you running? Fedora, Mandriva, CentOS, Suse, Scientific?

debuginfo-install
debuginfo-install(1) debuginfo-install(1)
NAME
debuginfo-install - install debuginfo packages and their dependencies
SYNOPSIS
debuginfo-install package
DESCRIPTION
debuginfo-install is a program which installs the RPMs needed to debug the specified package. The package argument can be a wildcard, but
will only match installed packages. debuginfo-install will then enable any debuginfo repositories, and install the relevant debuginfo rpm.
EXAMPLES
Download and install all the RPMs needed to debug the kernel RPM:
debuginfo-install kernel
WARNING MESSAGES
Could not find debuginfo for:
You may sometimes see warning messages about certain packages not being found if you run debuginfo-install for a wildcard or glob.
Debuginfo packages are not necessary for "noarch" RPMs; these will generate a warning message. Additionally, On 64-bit systems, no
multilib debuginfo packages are published, so if you have 32-bit packages installed, these will also generate warning messages.
FILES
As debuginfo-install uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like
which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
SEE ALSO

AUTHORS
See the Authors file included with this program.
BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
