Package: libstdc++6-4.8-dbg
Version: 4.8.2-15
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
This package contains python scripts which should allow gdb to
pretty-print C++ types. But these scripts fail to load:
File "/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.py", line 63, in <module>
from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers
ImportError: No module named libstdcxx.v6.printers
I found this was caused by an incorrect Python search path (it contains
one "../" too many):
(gdb) python print sys.path
['/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/../../../share/gcc-4.8/python', ...
This path is calculated by the libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.py script which
contains the following hack for multiarch systems:
if not os.path.basename(os.path.dirname(__file__)).startswith('lib'):
backdirs += 1 # multiarch subdir
This extra backdir is not necessary however because the libdir
definition at the top of the script already contains the multiarch
prefix:
libdir = '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'
So I deleted the two line if-statement from the script and that fixed
the problem for me.
