I wonder if it because I am upgrading from a previous version of
gcc-3.0-sparc64. apt-get update does not change (I have the latest)
I don't want to do a dist-upgrade because there seems to be a problem
with all the gnome-games being removed:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gnome-card-games gnome-games gnome-gataxx gnome-glines gnome-gnibbles
gnome-gnobots2 gnome-gnometris gnome-gnomine gnome-gnotravex
gnome-gnotski
gnome-gtali gnome-iagno gnome-mahjongg gnome-same-gnome gnome-stones
in any event, I tried removing gcc-3.0-sparc64 and get another error:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gcc-3.0-sparc64 libc6-dev-sparc64
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
1 packages not fully installed or removed.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

Removing libc6-dev-sparc64 ...
dpkg: error processing gcc-3.0-sparc64 (--remove):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
so, now I am stuck...
