Re: gcc problem after potato upgrade

[Doug Thistlethwaite <doug@dupreeinc.com>]

Thanks for the quick reply!

I guess this means that dselect didn't mark the new version of the libg++
for installation.  I assume that I should select the latest version
libg++2.8.2-glibc2.1-2.91.66-2.deb and that should allow gcc to install
correctly.

Do I need to remove the old version first, or will selecting the new version
automaticly get rid of the old package?

Thanks,

Doug
