JF, My mistake. I meant that a new entry for gcc43 had to be added to the gcc42 package when gcc43 was added to fink. One could rebuild gcc43 with the older gcc42-4.2.2-1001 package installed but not install it without manually removing gcc42. There is no way around this. Each time a new gcc4X package is added we have to update the Conflicts/Replaces fields to contain the new package. Jack ps I could add bogus entries for gcc44, gcc45, etc in the packaging well in advance of any possible release but I thought adding references to non-existent packages was bad form.
