[Bug 377340] [NEW] Graphical debugging depends on /dev/ptypd

[Jon Martini]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnat-gps

Package information:
gnat-gps
4.3-2008.08.09ubuntu1

System Information:
Ubuntu
Release 9.04 (jaunty)
Kernel Linux 2.6.28-11-generic
GNOME 2.26.1


Problem summary:
gnat-gps works under Ubuntu 8.10, but 9.04 removed /dev/ptypd which broke graphical debugging.

Problem creation:
>From gnat-gps start a debugging session for a project that is compiled for debugging by selecting Debug->Initialize->"Your program's name" from the the menu.  Alternatively you can initialize a debugging session and use the 'file' gdb command to load a program for debugging.

Switch to the Debugger Console and attempt the run the program loaded.

(gdb) run
/dev/ptypd: No such file or directory.

Program exited with code 01.
You can't do that without a process to debug.
(gdb)


The same compiled executable can be run by gdb on the command line, so it is not a problem with the program being debugged.
