The installed "cpp" goes in /usr/bin while gcc puts its preproccessor
somewhere under /usr/lib/gcc-2.7.2/...  The should be totally
independant packages.  I don't see why the "cpp" packages is listed
as providing anything or why gcc should depend upon cpp since in puts
its preprocessor in its own directory.
