Package: gcc-4.7-base Version: 4.7-20111217-1 Severity: important gcc-4.6-base and gcc-4.7-base disagree on the target of the symlink: lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2011-12-17 07:54 ./usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1 -> 4.6 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2011-12-17 18:11 ./usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1 -> 4.7
This renders it uninstallable (without some --force options to dpkg), thereby breaking quite a few packages that depend on it. It looks like the symlink in the 4.7 package is a mistake. (For now, I have forced 4.6-base to overwrite 4.7-base.) (Severity not serious because I can't find an explicit "must" or "required" in Debian policy mandating Conflicts: declarations. Section 3.5 requires declaration of prerequisites, but I cannot find an explicit requirement for conflicts.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-gcc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
