At th bottom of the window (not shown in the print screen) it says "install “gdb” packages. What is the “gdb” package ?

I’m on Fedora 40 with KDE 6.1.4

What is the “gdb” package ?

gdb stands for GNU debugger.
It is an essential package to detect the origin of crashes, and to study the behavior of programs.

Installing it, will allow the system to provide traces to detect the crash origin and eventually fix it.

Ok, so I have to install those packages gdb.x86_64 and kdbg.x86_64 ?

In the future, you can find out what any package is with command:

dnf info <packagename>

E.G.

dnf info gdb
