[Impact]
Currently it is not possible to install this package alongside gdb. See also comments #8 and #9.

[Test case]
Attempt to install `gdb-arm-none-eabi` where `gdb` is already installed.

[Regression potential]
The patch used is one available in a newer version of the package.
There is some confusion regarding the version number and how much changes has actually gone into this rebuild, see comment #9.
