The current version of gfortran in 12.0 LTS depends on gfortran-4.6, which in turn depends on GCC-4.6 (=, not >=), which can't be satisfied as the only GCC release in 12.0 is 4.6.1-2. Is this likely to be resolved soon? I need gfortran and am having the very devil of a time building GCC and thus gfortran from sources (arghh!).
