I suspect you are using package with same name but released by Ubuntu because we don't provide separated gdb package. Suggest you to read this https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+bug/1309060. Just to let you know, we are working with Debian to try to consolidate the two tool chains.

In addition to what Terry said, note that this particular bug is already fixed in the version from Utopic Unicorn. So you can either wait for Unicorn to be released and upgrade or try to enable the Unicorn repositories now and upgrade just gdb-arm-none-eabi.

To do this, add lines for Unicorn in your sources.list, run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install gdb-arm-none-eabi. Hopefully it doesn't need more recent versions of the libraries. If you see it tries to upgrade something else than the toolchain, I suggest that you cancel this operation, remote the Unicorn lines from the sources.list, rerun sudo apt-get update and then wait for Unicorn to be released.

Can you help with this problem?
