Description Alexey Vyskubov 2023-09-06 08:02:50 UTC 
Hello,

gdb depends on elfutils (0.187), which in turn installs /usr/local/include/dwarf.h

Existence of this file breaks the installation of libdwarf, as it wants to put in the file under the same name.

It seems likely that /usr/local/lib/dwarf.h should come from libdwarf (i.e., that this should be an elfutils issue instead)?

(In reply to Ed Maste from comment #1)
In particular, since elfutils installs most of their headers into a
subdirectory of its own:

include/dwarf.h
include/elfutils/debuginfod.h
include/elfutils/elf-knowledge.h
include/elfutils/known-dwarf.h
include/elfutils/libasm.h
include/elfutils/libdw.h
include/elfutils/libdwelf.h
include/elfutils/libdwfl.h
include/elfutils/version.h
include/gelf.h
include/libelf.h
include/nlist.h

It seems elfutils named their DWARF library "libdw".

Alas, both libraries, even though they might share similar roots, seem to
export many different things, so one cannot serve as a replacement for the
other one
