Simply don't install the package containing these files.<BR>
<BR>
These files are apt-rpm config files and not suitable for Debian's apt<BR>

All this means, the distro you chose to install gdb from, is<BR>
incompatible to your distro.<BR>
<BR>
Which distro dist you convert and which distro are you trying to install on.<BR>

As recently said in a similar thread on this list. Add such kind of<BR>
symlinks is _wrong_ and is a mistake. Instead, you need to find the<BR>
package from your distro which constains the missing libraries.<BR>
