Right. I forgot to version the gcc dependency in the cxx installer package. I
need to update ccc to use and depend on 2.95.4 too, will probably do that later
today.

Yes, 2.95.4 is in unstable, where cxx is...

You can get it from unstable, or else look in /var/lib/dpkg/info/cxx.postinst
which has:
/usr/lib/compaq/cxx-6.3.9.7/alpha-linux/bin/create-comp-config.sh \
cxx-6.3.9.7 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-linux/2.95.4
Just run that script again with 2.95.3 and it should work. You should also run
the rest of the commands in the postinst- or just edit the postinst and rerun
that whole script.
