Today in Factory: A smart gdb

May 13th, 2009 by

I have no idea who came up with this, but I just fell over a gdb that teached me to use zypper while
debugging a problem I’m having:

Missing separate debuginfo for /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
Try: zypper install -C "debuginfo(build-id)=41d4f203d690d7db47fbcc38c3f47a2cdcc6848f"

And so I did, and it installed glibc-debuginfo. Smart!

  1. This seems extremely helpful, in this case.

    Could these helpers be stored away and applied automatically? Imagine a non-technical user being given some line command to run.
