Package: gdb Version: 7.6-3 Severity: normal According to the gdb(1) man page:
You can, instead, specify a process ID as a second argument, if you want to debug a running process: gdb program 1234 would attach GDB to process 1234 (unless you also have a file named `1234'; GDB does check for a core file first). but this doesn't work: ypig:~> gdb =iceweasel 29743 GNU gdb (GDB) 7.6-debian Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Attaching to program: /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel, process 29743 ptrace: Operation not permitted. /home/vlefevre/29743: No such file or directory. (gdb) I wonder what gdb is trying to do, but the error messages are no clear. Does it fail because /home/vlefevre/29743 doesn't exist??? I don't know about ptrace, but I'm using a standard Debian kernel (linux-image-3.9-1-amd64 Debian package).
