Problem with apt and libstdc++
Hi all
I am running Debian 2.2 (potato) i386 and have a problem with (i think)
apt.
When i try to install c++-compiler, i get the attached messages. i've
tried installing libc6 2.1 instead of 2.2, but after installing it (with
dpkg) apt-get complains and asks to install all the packages on the
machine, including base-files! i've thought that a possible solution
would be to rebuild the apt dependancy database in some way. is this
possible? or are dependancies stored in the packages themselves?
thanks.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
g++: Depends: libstdc++2.10-dev (>= 1:2.95.2-10) but it is not going
to be installed
