Breuer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: gcc-2.95: gcc-2.95 PACKAGE effectively depends on itself To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailer: bug 3.3.10 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-0.2 required=4.0 tests=HAS_PACKAGE,SPAM_PHRASE_00_01 version=2.44 X-Spam-Level: Package: gcc-2.95 Version: 1:2.95.4-11woody1 Severity: normal gcc 2.95.4's package information (I compiled it on potato) shows that it requires gcc 2.95.3 or better in order to INSTALL, although obviously one can bootstrap its COMPILATION from nearly any gcc. HOWEVER, there is no 2.95.3 package that I could find on debian to which I could upgrade my potato's 2.95.2. Thus there is no way of getting to where I want to be without being there already, as far as I can see (modulo the existence of some dummy gcc package provided by gcc-2.95 of which I am unaware, and that is quite possible). I.e. you are at one fixpoint of a dependency problem, and I am at another. If I currently do an apt-get -f install, it tells me: The following packages will be REMOVED: cpp-2.95 g++ g++-2.95 gcc-2.95 libdb2++-dev libdb2.6++-dev libsp1-dev libstdc++2.10-dbg libstdc++2.10-dev libstlport4.5-common libstlport4.5-dev protoize-2.95 Hic. And what I need is something dummyish that probably links /usr/bin/gcc to gcc-2.95 and replaces gcc 2.95.2 as a package. Correct? -- System Information Debian Release: 2.2 Kernel Version: Linux betty.it.uc3m.es 2.4.20-SMP-XFS #15 SMP Thu Jan 9 00:58:05 CET 2003 i686 unknown Versions of the packages gcc-2.95 depends on: ii binutils 2.12.90.0.1-4 The GNU assembler, linker and binary utiliti ii cpp-2.95 2.95.4-11woody The GNU C preprocessor. ii gcc 2.95.2-13.1 The GNU C compiler. ii libc6 2.1.3-24 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone Feel free to dismiss this bug report. It is not completely straightforward to compile woody packages on potato, and as I recall I could not compile objc and decided not to compile g77 and pascal and java, and the resulting complaints from the make showed me that there were bits of ad-hoc patchery in the debian rules so that defining the languages wanted still left the debian/rules* expecting the langauges I hadn't compiled. To say nothing of a missing runtest script .. well, I digress. Anyway, it's quite possible I erred and there is a fake gcc package that will "replace" my gcc 2.95.2 now that I have gcc-2.95.4 in place. But I don't have it. Let me know ..
