Hi,
Since upgrading to Fedora 33, I notice gdb no longer prompts me to install missing debuginfo packages. Full backtraces contain no member variables or line numbers and are not very useful for debugging problems. For example:
(gdb) bt full #0 0x00007ffff7b65a0f in poll () at /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff7e7c865 in g_socket_condition_timed_wait () at /lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0 #2 0x00007ffff7e7d2e3 in g_socket_connect () at /lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0 #3 0x00007ffff7e83ad3 in g_socket_client_connect () at /lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0 #4 0x00007ffff7e8401b in g_socket_client_connect_to_host () at /lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0 #5 0x000000000040128b in main ()
In F32 and earlier releases, gdb would print a 'dnf debuginfo-install' command to use to install all necessary debuginfo, and that would at least usually work. What has changed?
Yep, I can confirm this, the hint about debuginfo is gone. After I install appropriate debuginfo packages, the backtrace shows all the details. So it seems that it's just the hint that is missing.
