Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 26.04 I got "Download failed: Timer expired". Why?
```
...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/3/hello
Downloading separate debug info for system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fbe000
Download failed: Timer expired. Continuing without separate debug info for
system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7fbe000.
Download failed: Timer expired. Continuing without separate debug info for
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.
Download failed: Timer expired. Continuing without separate debug info for
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1.
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
```
```
$ gdb --version
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 17.1-2ubuntu1) 17.1
```
On the same physical PC I have virtual machine with Ubuntu 24.04. And there I
can use gdb without problem, from Ubuntu 24.04:
```
$ gdb --version
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 15.1-1ubuntu1~24.04.1) 15.1
```
How to reproduce?
1. Make main.cpp file
```
cat <<EOF > main.cpp
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::string message = "Hello, World!";
std::cout << message << std::endl;
return 0;
}
EOF
```
2. Compile with Debugging Symbols
```
g++ -g main.cpp -o hello
```
3. Launch GDB
```
gdb -tui ./hello
```
4. Essential Debugging Commands
```
start
n
```
