I've noticed that some packages say such thing but followed right after 
with:

 > Reading symbols from /usr/bin/bonnie++...
 > Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/bonnie++.debug...

The above is wrong - it doesn't work, so just make sure the gdb prompt 
is right after the reading symbols line like:

 > Reading symbols from /usr/bin/shotcut...
 > Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/shotcut.debug...
