Bug#764857: kdesdk-scripts: File for gdb is compressed and can't be used roight away.
Package: kdesdk-scripts
Version: 4:4.14.0-1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
This package includes the following file:
/usr/share/doc/kdesdk-scripts/examples/kde-devel-gdb.gz
This file is used in gdb by sourcing it:
(gdb) source /usr/share/doc/kdesdk-scripts/examples/kde-devel-gdb.gz
/usr/share/doc/kdesdk-scripts/examples/kde-devel-gdb.gz:1: Error in sourced command file:
Undefined command: "". Try "help".
gdb clearly does not support compressed scripts, so this file should
not be compressed in the package. Of course, the workaround is to uncompress it:
$ gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/kdesdk-scripts/examples/kde-devel-gdb.gz > kde-devel-gdb
(gdb) source kde-devel-gdb
Now it works.
