libc6-dev confilicts with libstdc++2.9-dev?

[Emile Snyder <emile@reed.edu>]

Hrm.  I went and got my system all messed up messing with stuff that I
shouldn't have, and now I'm trying to recover.  I can't seem to get gcc
and g++ environments to play nice.

Does anyone have any pointers as to where to go with this?  Why does
libc6-dev_2.1.2-0pre7.deb conflict with libstdc++2.9-dev_2.91.60-5.deb?
But then when I try to remove libc6-dev first, and install libstdc++-dev,
it says it depends on libc6-dev!  Ack.

Please cc replies to me,

Thanks for your time,
