This is what wiki says:

• |/usr/bin/gdb.minimal| — GDB executable built without optional unneeded features
• |/usr/bin/gdb-add-index| — Executable script shared with gdb-headless package (modified to fallback to gdb.minimal if exists)

gdb-add-index is in both gdb-minimal and gdb-headless.

Except:

• that's not currently true
• proper conflicts for lower versions need to be added then (not there now)

I've uploaded gdb-8.3.50.20190425-10.fc31 which should address these issues.

Can we please figure the plan and **approve the change** before doing it?

Doing this doesn't impact the buildroot at all; things will only be effective when rpm-build is changed to depend/suggest on gdb-minimal. I decided to go ahead and perform the split because I wanted to make sure everything was in place before implementing the change.
