Bug#652856: g++-4.6: g++-4.5/4.6 does not call update-alternatives for a "g++" link
Package: g++-4.6
Version: 4.6.2-7
Severity: normal
Installation of both or either g++-4.5/4.6 will not provide a direct
link to "g++". The command is called g++-4.X, which won't be
auto-detected by programs like configure. The packages should use
update-alternatives, just like gcc already does.
