Gdbserver: not found

Platform Development

Within QT Creator - Sailfish IDE I try to use the debug function, towards my Xperia 10 III with Sailfish on it. I am getting following error:
22:13:31: Checking available ports…
22:13:31: Found 101 free ports.
22:13:31: Starting gdbserver --multi --once :10000…
22:13:31: Waiting for gdbserver…
bash: exec: line 0: gdbserver: not found
22:13:31: Application finished with exit code 127.

When I try to install gdbserver on my Sailfish device, I get

devel-su pkcon gdbserver
Command failed: Option ‘gdbserver’ is not supported

What am I missing?

The install sub-command?

(And you should probably pkcon search for it, since that’s not the exact package name).

Thanks,

devel-su pkcon install gdb

and

devel-su pkcon install gdb-gdbserver

worked to install it on my Sailfish device.

Although installation worked well, when trying to debug, I now get “The GDB process terminated unexpectedly (exit code 1)” in the Sailfish SDK, and the application exits immediately on my Sailfish device. Should I do some update on my pc too?
