Bug Description

SRU: update gdb 9.2 for 20.04 LTS

according to https://sourceware.org/gdb/ this is a bug fix release:

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

PR tui/25586 (Resizing the source/disassembly or command window produces corrupted display)
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)
PR build/26029 (GDB build failure on SPARC)
"""

Regression potential: minimal, package also not used by normal users, but for development.

Acceptence criteria: Package builds, no regressions in the testsuite.

The package also was part of a focal test rebuild, see LP: #1879481.

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.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for gdb has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
