Bug#110231: Still unresolved in my opinion
Which no one else saw. It would be a lot more clear if that had gone
to the BTS. All I saw was a suggestion to try something and a reply
complaining about how no one was helping you.
I received the message about replying to 110231@bugs.debian.org after I got
the initial reply from Matthias. I didn't mean to imply that nobody was
helping me. My message was in reply to the closure and that I felt that it
wasn't actually in that state. Matthias obviously replied VERY fast.. even
fast enough to beat the message from BTS.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:

What else did you try? What Debian version are you running - stable,
testing, unstable? How recently updated? What does /etc/apt/sources.list
look like?

What are the versions on libc6, libc6-dev, g++ (if already installed),
libstdc++*, libstdc++*-dev (if already installed), gcc, gcc-3.0, gcc-2.95
and gcc-3.0-base?
ns1:/etc/apt# dpkg -s libc6 | grep ^Version
Version: 2.2.3-6
ns1:/etc/apt# dpkg -s gcc | grep ^Version
Version: 1:2.95.2-13
libstdc++2.10-dev (as reported by apt-get.. I can't seem to find it)
It shouldn't be a conflict between packages. It's possible that your
source.lists is messed up. Have you tried apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
recently?
an apt-get update and upgrade was run just before attempting to install the
package the first time.
