Bug#856528: Unable to install GCC7 on Debian 8/i386 with Experimental enabled
Package: gcc-7
Version: 7-20170226-1
Severity: important
I'm unable to install GCC7 on Debian 8/i386 with Experimental enabled.
Things worked well under x86_64; the issue seems to be limited to
i386.
=====================================
A fresh install of Debian 8.7 for i386. The machine is fully patched.
The following sources are enabled. The last one, experimental, came
from https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental.
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian experimental main
=====================================
# apt-get -t experimental install gcc-7 g++-7
