[Rd] Problem installing gdb into Rtools42

[Dominick Samperi]

Hello,

I tried installing gdb into Rtools42 following the instructions here
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/howto-R-4.2.html

I ran 'pacman -Sy gdb', and the installation seemed to complete without
problems.

But gdb could not be started because incorrect DLL versions were installed,
in particular, the missing DLL's are: msys-ffi-8.dll and
msys-unistring-5.dll.

Is there an alternative way to install gdb for use with Rtool42?

Thanks,
Dominick
