And removing said entry from /etc/apt/preferences and I'm away: ~$ sudo apt-get install g++ Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: g++-4.1 libc6 libc6-dev libstdc++6-4.1-dev locales Suggested packages: gcc-4.1-doc lib64stdc++6 glibc-doc manpages-dev libstdc++6-4.1-doc The following NEW packages will be installed g++ g++-4.1 libc6-dev libstdc++6-4.1-dev The following packages will be upgraded: libc6 locales 2 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 249 not upgraded. Need to get 15.7MB of archives. After unpacking 26.3MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Many thanks! (Shame that apt-get doesn't tell me I've something pinned and thus why won't be upgraded.)
