Even following your hint adding "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main" installation of gcc fails as follows:[..] Please post your contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*. I have the following lines in sources.list: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports sid main deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main and make sure you type 'apt-get update'. does it help?Installation of gcc from "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main" has been working at about december 2010 i think. Could you please help me to overcome above problems to setup a native gcc?Maybe the mirror was during an update that moved files from 'unreleased' to sid (or vice versa) during your installation attempt? Just wildly guessing. Does it work currently?
No the problem is ppl. Lets start from the beginning. gcc-4.3 should not be used and I'm going to remove it soon. gcc-4.4 is no longer in unreleased but in unstable. The current gcc-4.4 package is not built yet and the old one is missing the _all.deb files. If you get them from snapshots everything is fine. gcc-4.5 has more or less the same problem. Using old snapshot for gcc-4.4 4.4.5-13 http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/20110301T101121Z/ should fix the issue for now. As said earlier the root cause is ppl not building. The problem here (as in the past) is the floating point test suite. The problem in particular is that rounding is differing more than on other architectures and you notice this after around 15 iterations. This is what I know at the moment. I have to investigate this more until I know how and where to fix this. Unfortunately this is not going to happen within the next two weeks. I would be glad if nobody brute force uploads ppl into unreleased.
