Now what?

You'd have to "run ref", not just "run". Additional parameters on the command like (like you've given "zypper ref") to gdb are interpreted differently - namely "ref" as the argument to a core dump image. Arguments for the inferior have to be passed to the "run" command.

Notice that at this point you would normally run that "zypper install ..." command to install the debug packages, so that the information given by gdb is complete on a new run — but this time you can not do that.

Simon Lees posted a bugzilla report for you to see.

Do add webkit2gtk3-debugsource too, that will give the source line more readily.

It probably comes from libproxy and its pacrunner plugin.

proxy autoconfig. Yes, requiring a Turing-complete evaluation to get trivial info like this is bonkers. You can blame Netscape for that.

Just "rm /usr/lib/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18" and zypper will be fine again.

Smells like a significant reason why zypper is slower than apt*. :(
