Hi Peter!
Actually apt and dselect are frontends to the real Debian package management
tool - "dpkg" They both assusme that if the package is installed - it does
not need to be reinstalled - which is perfectly true unless the packege is
broken - like in your case.
(BTW - there should be an option for apt to force reinstalls, shouldn't it?)
In your case the best way is to:
dpkg -i libstdc++2.9-dev_2.91.60-5.deb
which installs the package. Also, if you have Midnight Commander you can
try tapping enter on the package file and then be able to browse/install the
package contents.
hope this helps,
Marcin
