Name        : gdb
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 7.7.1
Release     : 21.fc20
URL         : http://gnu.org/software/gdb/
Summary     : A GNU source-level debugger for C, C++, Fortran, Go and other languages
Description :
GDB, the GNU debugger, allows you to debug programs written in C, C++,
Java, and other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion
and printing their data.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Accelerate interactive symbols lookup 15x.
Instructions on how to test this issue are described at:

<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00020.html>

TL;DR:

Make sure you have LibreOffice installed, along with its debuginfo files and all other debuginfo files for the dependencies (GDB will teach you how to install missing debuginfo files).
