re-installing gcc_2.7.2.3
Hi all,
A few days ago i installed gcc-2.8.1 in /usr, by mistake, thus
overwriting gcc_2.7.2.3 that is to be used when compiling the
kernel in debian distribution.
Than i run 'make uninstall' for gcc-2.8.1 and tried to reinstall
gcc_2.7.2.3-3.deb. I gon the following cryptic message:
> Unpacking gcc (from gcc_2.7.2.3-3.deb) ...
> dpkg: error processing gcc_2.7.2.3-3.deb (--install):
> trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/g++', which is also in package g++
> dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
> Errors were encountered while processing:
> gcc_2.7.2.3-3.deb
I think that messages like 'error processing ...' without intelligible
hints about what problem has been encountered should be avoided.Moreover /usr/bin/g++ seems to be a regular file ...
Lastly: what does it mean (to common users) the sentence:'subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)' ?
Can anybody explain me how to re-install gcc_2.7.2.3 ?
thank you
Paolo Pumilia
