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.

gcc/g++ do not use alternatives, and never will. Install g++ or build-essential
