GDB Missing separate debuginfos

I'm using fedora 20 and trying to use GDB. But I got this error message which prevents me from debugging program.

Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install nss-softokn-freebl-3.17.4-1.fc20.x86_64

I ran the command to install as instructed, I've got this message

$ sudo debuginfo-install nss-softokn-freebl-3.17.4-1.fc20.x86_64

Could not find debuginfo for main pkg: nss-softokn-freebl-3.17.4-1.fc20.x86_64
Package glibc-debuginfo-2.18-19.fc20.x86_64 already installed and latest version
No debuginfo packages available to install

After did this I tried again still see the same issue in GDB. My GDB version is:

Fedora 20 is EOL. This means the repositories with provided packages (and debug information) are not be available anymore (or will not be). You should update to supported version (Fedora 22 or 23 ATM).

Also the package version you are trying to install is outdated.

If you really need to install the package for debugging something with this exact version, you can download the package from koji and install by hand:

wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/nss-softokn/3.17.4/1.fc20/x86_64/nss-softokn-debuginfo-3.17.4-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install nss-softokn-debuginfo-3.17.4-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm

But note, this is really not a recommended to use outdated system, since it is not receiving any security updates.
