When I realized that I couldn't run compiled programs I decided to
remove all the versions of gcc I had (3.4, 4.1, 4.3) to reinstall them
from the mirror (ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib --
changing it later to the main didn't improve the situation) running
apt-get clean, then:
# sudo apt-get remove gcc-4.3 gcc-4.3-base
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgcc1: Depends: gcc-4.3-base (= 4.3.1-2) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Broken packages
After that,trying to remove libgcc1 (just to see) I got :
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6: Depends: libgcc1 but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
I can only reinstall these 2 packages but not remove them. Trying to
remove libc6 (also for testing) brings up an awful list of software,
among them essential ones that wouldn't leave my system usable, but at
least it is removable.
