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.
