-Description: The Slick/Simple Debugger
+Description: kernel debugger built on drgn
+ sdb is a high-level kernel debugger built on top of drgn.
+ .
+ This package bundles drgn, kdumpling, pyelftools, and their
+ transitive Python dependencies inside a self-contained virtualenv at
+ /usr/share/python/sdb/. The /usr/bin/sdb entry point activates the
+ venv. No external runtime dependency on libkdumpfile is required —
+ drgn's manylinux wheel ships a bundled libkdumpfile.so via auditwheel
+ with RPATH=$ORIGIN/drgn.libs.
