Package: gdb
Version: 8.1-3
Severity: important

Hello:

The shebang line of gcore script points to sh (dash here), and when
trying to use it stops immediately with:

---8<---
/usr/bin/gcore: 28: /usr/bin/gcore: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
--->8---

Changing sh to bash in the first line of the script makes it work
again. That or fix line 28 (and any other) to be compatible with basic
sh syntax.

Thanks,
GSR
