Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2021-05-25 19:29:52 UTC 
When gdb undertakes a stream of downloads for the solibs of a big program (bug #17547), each request appears to be interruptible with a ^C, but the sequence as a whole isn't until the "Type <RET> for more, q to quit, ..." pager message.  It would be nice if a debuginfod-download ^C interruption could "stick" in the sense of disabling the immediately subsequent batch of downloads too.

This could fit amerey's future work in adding a pre-first-use notification for debuginfod downloads, so adding him on cc: here.
