(y or n)" Even if I answer with "n" I get the message: "No symbol \"debuginfod\" in current context."I think this means your GDB is too old and doesn't support debug info downloading, or was built without that support. We don't know how to know in advance that this is not supported, thus the user option that you can customize to avoid these questions if your GDB cannot use debuginfod.
I don't know if my gdb support debug info downloading (see exact version info below) but if I answer the question with "n" - I don't want to enable this - I wonder why I'm (only mildly, of course) bothered with a not very helpful error message.
What OS are you using GDB on, and what is your GDB version, please?
This is basically a GNU/linux debian 11.9 (so, not that old). More specifically, uname -a:
Linux pointsman2 5.10.0-28-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.209-2 (2024-01-31) x86_64 GNU/Linux
gdb --version (it's the version installed by the debian package management system): GNU gdb (Debian 10.1-1.7) 10.1.90.20210103-git
