For a few months now I haven't been able to install the GCC
documentation. This is most annoying. However, there is no bug filed
so I'm wondering if maybe I've just got something broken?
Here's what happens:
# apt-get -s install gcc-doc
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
alsa-source build-essential g++ g++-2.95 gcc gcc-2.95 gobjc gobjc-2.95
libstdc++2.10-dev libtool task-devel-common task-objc-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
gcc-doc

Why is it removing GCC (and all the rest of that stuff) in order to
install gcc-doc???
I can't see anything in the gcc-doc info that leads me to believe it
should remove the rest of the stuff:
# apt-cache show gcc-doc
...
Source: gcc (2.95.2-20)
Version: 1:2.95.2-20
Replaces: gcc (<=2.7.2.3-4.3), egcs-docs (<< 2.95), gcc-docs (<< 2.95.2)
Provides: egcs-docs
Conflicts: gcc-docs (<< 2.95.2), egcs-docs (<< 2.95)
...
OK, so replaces gcc <= 2.7.2.3-4.3, but I don't have that, and there's
no conflict with the other stuff, so what's going on?
