[Bug 952999] Re: gdb crashed with ImportError in /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16-gdb.py: No module named libstdcxx.v6.printers

[Kevin Funk]

The simple work-around is to patch '/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16-gdb.py':
Replace
    dir_ = os.path.join (os.path.dirname (objfile), dotdots, pythondir)
by
    dir_ = os.path.join (os.path.dirname (objfile), dotdots, dotdots, pythondir)

However, that still won't really work on 13.10, because the pretty
printers are actually broken because they do not support Python 3.x
yet... But that's a different issue.
