Public bug reported:
There is a typo in one of the symlinks in d/rust-gdb.links. It should be
rust-gdbgui, but it's written as rust-gdbui instead.
This makes the rust-gdbgui distributed by rust-defaults unusable. The
versioned rust-gdbgui must be used instead.
====================
Demonstration of bug
====================
root at r:~# apt install -y rust-gdb
[...]
root at r:~# rust-gdbgui
Command 'rust-gdbgui' not found, did you mean:
command 'rust-gdbui' from deb rust-gdb (1.88.0ubuntu3)
Try: apt install <deb name>
root at r:~# test -e /usr/bin/rust-gdbui && echo 'ok' || echo 'bad link'
bad link
root at r:~# rust-1.88-gdbgui
rust-gdbgui
===========
gdbgui - https://gdbgui.com - is a graphical front-end to GDB
that runs in a browser. This script invokes gdbgui with the Rust
pretty printers loaded.
[...]
root at r:~# test -e /usr/bin/rust-1.88-gdbgui && echo 'ok' || echo 'bad link'
ok
