Description Alvin 2020-12-08 16:15:07 UTC
SUMMARY
I can no longer run the debugger (everything was fine until a recent OS update). When I start to debug my C++ application, I get this message:

  You need gdb 7.0.0 or higher.
  You are using: GNU gdb (GDB; openSUSE Tumbleweed) 10.1

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load a CPP project that compiles and links and is known to execute.
2. In KDevelop, Run->Debug Launch (assuming Current Launch Configuration already created and set)
3.

OBSERVED RESULT
KDevelop refuses to start debugger and, instead, displays the message in "SUMMARY" above.

EXPECTED RESULT
KDevelop to switch to Debug area and launch the application and stop on my breakpoint.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20201205
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
GDB Version (as per gdb --version): GNU gdb (GDB; openSUSE Tumbleweed) 10.1
