It might just be me, but gdb gets blamed for a host of bugs that are actually in the program or build environment of the project under test. I'd be VERY sure before posting a bug against gdb. > is it OK for me to file > the same bug against the relevant Debian package as well?

Have you run a test with the binary Debian package and then built gdb from source and tested with that build? If you've only used gdb from a Debian package, use reportbug to see the existing reports against the package and go from there. If you've built gdb from source and therefore you know that it's nothing introduced by the Debian maintainer / package, then file against the source. What kind of bug is this, anyway? Have you checked the existing bug reports in Debian? -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
