which version of the script do you have?  libpthread0 has been in the
script's remove list since v0.08

you can get the latest version from http://www.taz.net.au/autoup or from 
http://csanders.vicnet.net.au/autoup.

the vicnet site also has autoup.tar.gz which contains all the .debs needed
by the script. 



i don't know about libg++, it's not a problem i've ever run into when
running the script (i've upgraded several systems with it now).  what
debian release is libg++ from? rex? libg++272 has been around since before
bo, hasn't it?  doesn't matter, libg++ can easily be added to the remove
list.

it's not needed.  most people will probably want it installed, but that's
what dselect is for.  the script only installs the bare minimum required,
and leaves everything else to dselect. 

autoup.tar.gz is already 7MB in size.  libc6-dev would add another ~800K.
