With 29.1 as well as with trunk(both tested with -Q) if I call M-x gdb I
get asked:

"Enable querying debuginfod servers for this session? (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
