Bug Description

I tried to reboot my computer from KDE4, but instead a window popped up, telling me that KNotify crashed.
Even though that it says that the backtrace is of no use, I suspect that it's of no use for finding bugs in KNotify, but it's valuable for gdb?

Here's the text in the "Backtrace" tab in the "KDE Crash Handler":

---

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

/build/buildd/gdb-6.7.1/gdb/linux-nat.c:979: internal-error: linux_nat_attach: Assertion `pid == GET_PID (inferior_ptid) && WIFSTOPPED (status) && WSTOPSIG (status) == SIGSTOP' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

By chance do you have the kdelibs5-dbg package installed? This may help provide better information on the report in the future. Has this happened to you more than once? I will definitely keep an eye on this and see if I can get KNotify to crash here. Rebooting, logging out, and shutting down are the 3 things that haven't caused me a bit of problems yet with KDE 4.

Where can I find it/how can I install it?

I found it. I'm installing kdelibs5-dev and kde4-devel now. I think this crash only happened once, but I also think I've only tried it once.

Sorry about that, install kde4libs-dbg.
