Re: [opensuse-factory] using gdb in inst-sys to get backtraces

Is there some easy way to use gdb in inst-sys? Right now the binary is not even included, and even if it would be there the debuginfo files would be missing.

If the system to debug has enough memory it shouldnt be hard to load more required files into memory to simplify backtrace gathering, like in bnc#867919

In this case, to get the backtrace for tar, you can copy the tar.debug file from tar-debuginfo package to the directory where the tar binary resides. See https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html -- Vita Cizek
