Package: gdb64 Version: 7.2-1 Severity: normal Hi,
gdb64 package provide a version of gdb for debugging x86_64. But it is a 64 bits binary and don't run on 32 bit system. That's a shame for a package provided by arch=i386. I don't think there other binary (not lib) that is 64 bits for arch=i386. gcc is a 32 bits binary, but can generate 64 bits binary, so I expect gdb64 to be the same (ie 32 bits binary). Why, because even if the system can't run 64 bits binary, it can be usefull in target remote mode (against qemu or another machine). And for peple that want to debug native 64 bits binary, it won't change anything (only less deps : no need special 64 bit version of ncurses and readline). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gdb64 depends on: ii gdb 7.2-1 The GNU Debugger pn lib64ncurses5 <none> (no description available) pn lib64readline6 <none> (no description available) pn libc6-amd64 <none> (no description available) gdb64 recommends no packages. gdb64 suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
