Sure, I have overseen this. I will fix it tonight.
At any rate, I do not understand why you suggest to depend on both gcc and
gcc-4.3. Would the following be okay?
gcc (>= 4:4.3.3), gcc (<< 4:4.3.4)
Unfortunately we need to depend on a precise version (4.3.3 currently
because paths containing this version number is hard-coded in mkoctave.
We should discuss with upstream about this.
