Description of problem: /usr/bin/mono-gdb.py works but it has some implications such as being outside of the secure area. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mono-core-2.10.5-1.fc16.x86_64 mono-core-2.10.8-2.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: gdb /usr/bin/mono Actual results: warning: File "/usr/bin/mono-gdb.py" auto-loading has been declined by your `auto-load safe-path' set to "...something...". Expected results: Mono support loaded. Additional info: Currently it works but it is cleener to place it under /usr/share/gdb/auto-load/.
Created attachment 579656 [details] Tested .spec fix. It still needs to be upstreamed, though. But the new GDB security feature is fresh / under development upstream.
The file is also not executable and do thus not belong in /usr/bin: -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 11418 Apr 16 23:59 /usr/bin/mono-gdb.py mono-core-2.10.8-2.fc17.i686
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still affects even Rawhide: mono-core-2.10.8-3.fc18.x86_64
Not just Rawhide but all the currently supported version.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
Going to remove this workaround from gdb.rpm as Mono maintainer already had 2+ years to fix it.

I have applied the patch now for Rawhide. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mono.git/commit/?id=4697d99d42051fb23d0374c8509f51ed63112153
I see now there should be rather: +%{_datadir}/gdb/auto-load/* than the line I originally posted here 4 years ago: +%{_datadir}/gdb/auto-load (Because the directory itself is already owned by GDB.) But that is a common unimportant packaging bug. Thanks for the fix application.
Thanks for the suggestion, I have applied that now to the rawhide branch.
