Public bug reported: LLDB supports an option (-P or --python-path) to report where its corresponding python library is installed, described thus in the man page:
-P --python-path Prints out the path to the lldb.py file for this version of lldb. However, it does not report the correct path on Ubuntu 18.04 / lldb-6.0 (1:6.0-1ubuntu2). Note that I have python-lldb-6.0 installed, so I believe this option should (TM) work: What I tried: $ lldb-6.0 -P /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7/site-packages $ stat `lldb-6.0 -P` stat: cannot stat '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7/site-packages': No such file or directory What I expected: python-lldb-6.0 symlinks 'lldb' in dist-packages to the correct directory, so I was expecting `lldb-6.0 -P` to report that path: $ lldb-6.0 -P /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages $ stat `lldb-6.0 -P`/lldb File: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lldb -> ../../llvm-6.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lldb [Extra cruft] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: lldb-6.0 1:6.0-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Jun 11 11:46:13 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-04-26 (46 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180425.1) SourcePackage: llvm-toolchain-6.0 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: llvm-toolchain-6.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to llvm-toolchain-6.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776208 Title: 'lldb-6.0 --python-path' reports wrong path To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/llvm-toolchain-6.0/+bug/1776208/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
