Bug#193838: libgcc1: installation of libgcc1:3.3-2 causes failure of massive number of programs

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl@samba-tng.org>]

Package: libgcc1
Version: 1:3.2.3-0pre6
Severity: critical


actions taken:
	apt-get remove jade

this required, at this time, the installation / upgrade of libgcc1
and the installation / upgrade of tetex.

gcc 3.3 and cpp 3.3 was NOT required as part of that installation / upgrade.

once actioned, python2.2, update-menus, and scores of other programs,
failed to operate, with the following error:

/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version 'GCC_3.3' not found (required by
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5).

by reinstalling libstdc++.s.o.5 BACK as follows:
  514  dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libgcc1_1%3a3.2.3-0pre6_i386.deb 
  515  dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libstdc++5_1%3a3.2.3-0pre6_i386.deb 

i could recover my system.

i also had to remove "unstable" from the apt sources in order to
carry out the recovery.
