Description Josef Cejka 2023-10-03 16:16:30 UTC

gdb-12.1 on Leap 15.4/15.5 support downloading debuginfo/debugsource artefacts from debuginfod server but it's unable to download executables and shared libraries.

This makes hard to debug core files on different machines where the binaries are not available.

The issue was already fixed in upstream (released in gdb-13.1):

Can be these two patches applied on gdb from Leap15.4 / 15.5?

Both patches are present in 13.2.

A 13.2 update is coming (the usual fall update), which should take care of this.
