[Bug 1890270] Re: SRU: update gdb 9.2 for 20.04 LTS

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Matthias, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gdb into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb/9.2-0ubuntu1~20.04
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: gdb (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal

  This is a minor corrective release over GDB 9.1, fixing the following issues:

  PR gdb/25650 (GDB can't 'printf' a convenience variable holding an inferior address)
  PR build/25981 (Use of short i386 register names breaks compilation on recent Solaris 11.4)
  PR symtab/26003 (infinite loop loading symbols from separate debug objfile)

  Regression potential: minimal, package also not used by normal users,
