This sounds like a problem in apt to me, and I've seen issues like that before. What does apt say for apt-get install -t testing libstdc++6 build-essential ? If it gives an error, manually add the packages it cannot install on the commandline, until you either found the actual dependency problem or apt found a way forward. When apt found a way forward, and if it still wants to remove packages you want to keep, also add them on the commandline. > Regards, > /Niels cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
