Bug#975337: kdevelop: Fails to parse gdb 10 version string, won't debug programs
Package: kdevelop
Version: 4:5.6.0-3+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: brendon@quantumfurball.net
Dear Maintainer,
Evidently the version string returned from GDB has changed since the major
version switch from 9 to 10, and now kdevelop cannot interpret it. When I try
to run a project binary in debug mode, I get a red bar across the top of the
editor window saying:
You need gdb 7.0.0 or higher.
You are using: GNU gdb (Debian 10.1-1+b1) 10.1
Obviously 10.1 > 7.0.0, but from what I can gather, kdevelop doesn't seem to be
extracting the relevant portion of the "GNU gdb (Debian 10.1-1+b1) 10.1"
string. I can only close the notice bar - the debugger function in kdevelop no
longer works.
Triggered by local gdb package version, but I'm assuming the check logic comes
from upstream.
Best,
Brendon
