[Matthias Klose]

** Description changed:

  SRU: update gdb 9.2 for 20.04 LTS
  
  according to https://sourceware.org/gdb/ this is a bug fix release:
  
  """
  This is a minor corrective release over GDB 9.1, fixing the following issues:
  
  PR tui/25586 (Resizing the source/disassembly or command window produces corrupted display)
  PR gdb/25650 (GDB can't 'printf' a convenience variable holding an inferior address)
  PR build/25981 (Use of short i386 register names breaks compilation on recent Solaris 11.4)
  PR symtab/26003 (infinite loop loading symbols from separate debug objfile)
  PR build/26029 (GDB build failure on SPARC)
  """
  
  Regression potential: minimal, package also not used by normal users,
  but for development.
  
  Acceptence criteria:  Package builds, no regressions in the testsuite.
+ 
+ The package also was part of a focal test rebuild, see LP: #1879481.
