I've attached a debdiff with the first patch mentioned above, applied to the package in 14.04. I've built this locally in my trusty vm (amd64) and I no longer get a conflict when attempting to install the package. Not done any testing beyond this.
Two questions/concerns for the review: 1. The version number. I checked out the source code for 7.6.50.20131218-0ubuntu1+1, but from the binary produced I ended up building 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2+1ubuntu0.1. I haven't fully understood how the version number is constructed, but the prefix matches the gdb version number so I believe it is taken from there somehow. The version number does indicated a much larger jump than I had intended, so I guess this has rebuilt with the latest gdb sources or something. I don't know whether this is ok for an SRU. 2. The other patch. As mentioned above, http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/gdb-arm-none-eabi.git/log/ also contains another patch related to manpages. I have not included it yet (mostly because I don't fully understand its consequences). Someone should take a look at "Workaround for upstream manpages stripped" and decide whether that needs to be included as well. ** Patch added: "patch.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb-arm-none-eabi/+bug/1267680/+attachment/4429557/+files/patch.debdiff ** Tags added: patch ** Description changed: Was makin sure every thing worked and install properly for ya peeps from Synaptic Package Manager and found a few errors in the process got 2 uploaded along with this report also uploaded info to the "error tracker" which is named: 077cac62-1be5-11e3-88e6-e4115b0f8a4a which is what i also got while installing hope this helps ya =) peace + + + SRU + + [Impact] + Currently it is not possible to install this package alongside gdb.
