Bug#317106: gcc-4.0: gcc should warn or ask before changing /usr/bin/gcc link
Package: gcc-4.0
Version: 4.0.0-12
Severity: normal
gcc should warn or, better, ask before changing the target of the link
/usr/bin/gcc. i lost a half day of work just because /usr/bin/gcc since
the update today in the morning points to gcc-4.0 instead of 3.3 which
broke my library i had to compile. i solely by chance detected this
change.
