Bug#268577: Installation errors for gcc-3.3 (1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1) packages in Debian testing
Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1
Severity: grave
Hi!
I'm using Debian testing and just a few minutes ago I tried to upgrade
my system throught aptitude which resulted in errors. Updating
informed me that new version of the following packages were available
(installed version follows package name while available version is in
parenthesis):
gcc-3.3-base 1:3.3.4-6sarge1 (1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1)
libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-6sarge1 (1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1)
cpp-3.3 1:3.3.4-6sarge1 (1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1)
gcc-3.3 1:3.3.4-6sarge1 (1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1)
libstdc++5-3.3-dev 1:3.3.4-6sarge1 (1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1)
g++-3.3 1:3.3.4-6sarge1 (1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1)
cpp-3.3-doc 1:3.3.4-6sarge1 (1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1)
gcc-3.3-doc 1:3.3.4-6sarge1 (1:3.3.4-6sarge1.1)
Only gcc-3.3-base, libstdc++5 and cpp-3.3 were installed correctly,
the rest of the packages had errors while installed.
The relevant log from dpkg:

Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover:
Setting up cpp-3.3 (3.3.4-6sarge1.1) ...
From the log I guess that gcc-3.3, libstdc++5-3.3-dev, g++-3.3,
cpp-3.3-doc and gcc-3.3-doc all try to overwrite the file
/usr/share/doc/gcc-3.3-base/changelog.Debian.gz which should only be
installed by the gcc-3.3-base package, right?
My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like so:
deb http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
I manually ftp:ed in to ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-3.3 and
checked that no newer version of the mentioned packages are available.
If further information is required, don't hesitate to ask me.
