broken gdb package (4.17-4.m68k.objc.threads.hwwp.fpu.gnat.3)
Hmm, it seem this message was not sent to the list...
Here it is again (I apologize if you already received it).
----------------------
It seems the latest gdb package (4.17-4.m68k.objc.threads.hwwp.fpu.gnat.3) is
missing all the commands to print data:
# gdb

(gdb) help data
Examining data.
List of commands:
ptype -- Print definition of type TYPE
whatis -- Print data type of expression EXP
Type "help" followed by command name for full documentation.
Command name abbreviations are allowed if unambiguous.
(gdb) print
Undefined command: "print". Try "help".
No display number 0.
Disabling display 0 to avoid infinite recursion.
(gdb)
No "print", no "display", and so on...
IMO it needs to be recompiled ASAP.
In the meantime I reverted back to an older package (4.17-0.1) I kept on hand,
but it depends to the old ncurses3.4 :-(
