Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

The command gud-remove is under pdb (in gud.el) is wrong for versions
of python after 1.5.1. It is defined like this:
  (gud-def gud-remove "clear %l"   ......) line 1404 in gud.el

Which removes the %l nth break point defined instead of breakpoint at
line %l.

I have tested with a new definition:
(gud-def gud-remove "clear %f:%l" .....) line 1404 in gud.el
which works fine on my machine (and I see no reason that it won't on
anybody else's either).

Here is the citation from the pdb manual that explains the bug:

cl(ear) filename:lineno
cl(ear) [bpnumber [bpnumber...]]

Note that the argument is different from previous versions of
the debugger (in python distributions 1.5.1 and before) where
a linenumber was used instead of either filename:lineno or
breakpoint numbers.

PS: I think there are very few pythonistas who still use the 1.5.1 version
of python.
