AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'new_thread'

Running GDB in a chroot and recieving the following error regarding events in Python

(gdb) source sync.py
[sync] configuration file loaded from: /root/.sync
       interface: 192.168.1.56:9234
[sync] init
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sync.py", line 1070, in <module>
    SYNC_PLUGIN = Sync(rs_cfg, rs_commands)
  File "sync.py", line 390, in __init__
    gdb.events.new_thread.connect(self.newthread_handler)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'new_thread'

ret-sync's sync.py DOES work if not running in a chroot.

(gdb) source sync.py
[sync] configuration file loaded from: /root/.sync
       interface: 192.168.1.56:9234
[sync] init
[sync] 18 commands added

I suspect this issue stems from GDB but sync.py fails too early for me to debug what is actually happening. Any ideas?

Hi @sn0ot

this is a hard one. Just incase make sure that the gdb package inside the chroot is gdb full not the gdb-minimal package. However it may have crashed sooner.

Which version of gdb are you running ? I found a similar error message in this mailing list: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-prs/2017q3.txt

Hopefully this issue is fixed by default thanks to the commit above (98698a5)

Please re-open if necessary. Thank you for reporting the issue.
