So how come aptitude puts them on the same line?
I mean it certainly looks like if I asked to update gcc then
it will uninstall version 3.3.5 and install 4.0.1.
I know that the gcc front end is designed to support multiple
concurrent versions but it looks like the gcc 4 package will
replace the gcc 3.
To remind you - I'm on Testing ("etch"?).
