(potato) dselect mess after upgrade to XFree 4.1.0 - how to get out of but keep XFree4.1!
Hello,

The gcc compiler installed is
Reading specs from
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)
and it works (rebuilt the kernel with it OK) but I
can't install g++ and am in a knot.
What's the best way out without removing
XFree4.1? Upgrade to testing? I'd prefer
something stable-ish...
