Package: libstdc++6-4.1-dev
Version: 4.1.1-14
Severity: normal


Hi,

Currently libstdc++6-4.1-dev depends on g++-4.1, and vice-versa.

While I think it's reasonable for g++ to depend on libstdc++-dev, I don't see a 
good reason why libstdc++-dev must depend on g++, and I suggest that this is 
reduced to a Recommends: or Suggests:.

In my case I wanted to install libstdc++-dev to use with a cross-compiler on 
another machine, with the libstdc++ include files visible via an NFS mount.  See 
this thread for the details: 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.gcc/25092

Thanks,  Phil.

won't change that. If you do need a package for a cross platform,
please build the packages for your cross compiler yourself from the
sources.
