Description Freddie Witherden 2020-11-20 22:21:05 UTC

Running KDevelop on a Gentoo ~AMD64 system when I attempt to debug an executable I get a warning box saying:

"You need gdb 7.0.0 or higher.
You are using: GNU gdb (Gentoo 10.1 vanilla) 10.1 "

This indicates that there may be a problem with the version check code as 10.1 should pass.  Running gdb on the terminal I find:

$ gdb

Thank you for the report. This is fixed in git, and will be in 5.6.1.
