Python exception "AttributeError: module 'gdb' has no attribute 'Register'" #44
Description
First of all, thank you for creating this debugger!
I'm trying out pycrash on Fedora 30 using the latest master branches of libdumpfile and this project but hit by a weird Python exception:
$ ./pycrash -m ~/tmp ~/tmp/./usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.32-754.24.3.el6.x86_64/vmlinux ~/tmp/bad-centos6-test2.core
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
File "./build/lib/crash/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
import kdump.target
File "./build/lib/kdump/target.py", line 16, in <module>
TargetFetchRegisters = Callable[[gdb.InferiorThread, gdb.Register], None]
AttributeError: module 'gdb' has no attribute 'Register'
./test-gdb-compatibility.gdbinit:16: Error in sourced command file:
Error while executing Python code.
fatal: crash-python cannot initializeHow to work around this please? Thanks for your attention!

Hi, sounds like you don't have the patched gdb that's required?

I am hitting the same issue on Debian bullseye.
The docs only mention that gdb with python extensions and python >= 3.6 is required. AFAIK that is the case on my system. Still, I get that error.

It's a bit unclear but it doesn't mean the standard python API in gdb, but extended with more patches, with a link to https://github.com/crash-python/gdb-python/tree/gdb-9.1-target that has them.
