@Sergio - Given the way the retracers are currently setup we are using the version of gdb for the release for the crash we are retracing, subsequently we'd need to SRU this to every release. Given that I've already worked around this specific issue in apport backporting the fix seems unnecessary.
I'm sorry I missed the fact that this had been fixed in hirsute! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818918 Title: gdb doesn't search in debug-file-directory for .gnu_debugaltlink Status in Apport: Fix Released Status in apport package in Ubuntu: New Status in gdb package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: As far as I can tell gdb version 8.2.90 isn't searching the debug- file-directory, which I set, for the '.gnu_debugaltlink' which is in the debug symbols.
