I've noticed this a couple of times: I have a crash which requires a lot of debuginfo, I run gdb on it with debuginfod enabled, and partway through downloading all the debuginfos, it seems to...stop working. It will sit allegedly 'downloading' one for a very long time (though iftop shows no traffic passing), then it will print something like `Download failed: Timer expired. Continuing without separate debug info for /lib64/libgdk-3.so.0.`, then it will move to the next file, and do the same thing. I've no idea what's causing this, but it makes debugging these crashes rather difficult.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
Hi Adam, Could you give me more information, please? What crash was it, is there a core file, how do you invoke GDB precisely, are you typing any GDB commands? Have you tried with setting export DEBUGINFOD_VERBOSE=1? If you can still reproduce this bug, what versions are you using? $ rpm -q gdb elfutils-debuginfod-client Thank you, Alexandra
Sorry, it's been long enough that I don't remember the details. I haven't seen it lately, I'll re-open this if it comes up again.
