Public bug reported: Using libc6_2.13-24ubuntu2_amd64.deb with libc6-dbg_2.13-24ubuntu2_amd64.deb,
gdb -q /bin/date Reading symbols from /bin/date...done. (gdb) set stop-on-solib-events 1 (gdb) run Starting program: /bin/date Stopped due to shared library event (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ffff7deb300 in _dl_debug_state () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 #1 0x00007ffff7ddf386 in ??

() (gdb) quit Note lack of debug symbols for /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 The problem is that /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 has .gnu_debuglink of "ld-2.13.so". This means that GDB will look for /usr/lib/debug/lib64/ld-2.13.so (not present) and will not look for /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so (which is present). strace confirms that: grep 'ld-2.13.so"' /tmp/strace.out open("/lib64/ld-2.13.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib64/.debug/ld-2.13.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/debug//lib64/ld-2.13.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/debug/lib64/ld-2.13.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) readlink("/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2", "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so"..., 4095) = 32 lstat("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=141088, ...}) = 0 Arguably, GDB should do readlink("/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2"), and look for the real path name as well. If GDB did that, it would have worked. But for now, libc6-dbg should probably provide a symlink from /usr/lib/debug/lib64/ld-2.13.so to /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so ** Affects: eglibc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/914448 Title: libc6-dbg puts ld-2.X.so into wrong location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/914448/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
