Public bug reported:
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. Here's the error I'm seeing:
Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word".

Here's part of an strace of what's going on behind the scenes:
lstat("/srv/vms/apport-sandbox-dir/Ubuntu
19.04/amd64/report-sandbox/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/95/59c4c5ee30eb66d47bb9bd64784a69c9a6de6b.debug",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=839744, ...}) = 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/debug/.dwz/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnome-calculator.debug",
O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
This is the only time "/usr/lib/debug" is searched, generally "/srv/vms
/apport-sandbox-dir/Ubuntu 19.04/amd64/report-sandbox/usr/lib/debug/" is
used. I'll attach the full strace though.
For completeness here's the gdb command I'm using:
