Package: gdb
Version: 8.0-1
Severity: normal
Simply starting and quitting gdb shows messages like this:
[marek@cacao:/]$ gdb
...
(gdb) quit
warning: Could not rename //.gdb_history-gdb26953~ to //.gdb_history: File
or directory not found
So, it seems that GDB tries to create the history file in the current
directory instead of $HOME; running GDB from /tmp does work.
Providing a line in ~/.gdbinit
set history filename /home/....
makes the warning go away, so this configuration seems mandatory now.
