[Bug 914448] Re: libc6-dbg puts ld-2.X.so into wrong location

[Adam Conrad]

Seems this was fixed in gdb, which is good, cause we can't fix it in
libc6-dbg without breaking multi-arch (we'd end up with overlapping
paths between architectures).

** Changed in: eglibc (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

** Project changed: eglibc => gdb

Title:
  libc6-dbg puts ld-2.X.so into wrong location

Status in GNU Debugger:
  Unknown
Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Using libc6_2.13-24ubuntu2_amd64.deb with
  libc6-dbg_2.13-24ubuntu2_amd64.deb,

  gdb -q /bin/date
  Reading symbols from /bin/date...done.

  (gdb) quit

  Note lack of debug symbols for /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

  The problem is that /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 has .gnu_debuglink of
  "ld-2.13.so".

  This means that GDB will look for /usr/lib/debug/lib64/ld-2.13.so (not present)
  and will not look for /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so (which is present).

  strace confirms that:

  grep 'ld-2.13.so"' /tmp/strace.out 
  open("/lib64/ld-2.13.so", O_RDONLY)     = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  open("/lib64/.debug/ld-2.13.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  open("/usr/lib/debug//lib64/ld-2.13.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  open("/usr/lib/debug/lib64/ld-2.13.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  readlink("/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2", "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so"..., 4095) = 32
  lstat("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=141088, ...}) = 0

  
  Arguably, GDB should do readlink("/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2"), and look for
  the real path name as well. If GDB did that, it would have worked.

  But for now, libc6-dbg should probably provide a symlink from
  /usr/lib/debug/lib64/ld-2.13.so to /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so
