gcc-3.2 on a testing box

[John Schmidt <jas@netbrick.com>]

Hi,

I am running a testing box and would like to try out gcc-3.2 which is 
in unstable.  I have created an apt-preferences file with the 
appropriate information and updated my sources.list to include 
unstable.  As a check I ran:

golden:/home/jas#  apt-get install -s -t unstable gcc-3.2
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  binutils cpp-3.2 gcc-3.2-base libc6 libc6-dev libgcc1 locales
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  modconf modutils
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  cpp-3.2 gcc-3.2 gcc-3.2-base
5 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 2 to remove and 120  not 
upgraded.
Remv modconf (0.2.43 Debian:testing)
Remv modutils (2.4.19-3 Debian:unstable)
Inst libc6-dev (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable) []
Inst locales (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable) []
Inst libc6 (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable)
Conf libc6 (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable)
Inst binutils (2.13.90.0.4-1 Debian:unstable)
Inst gcc-3.2-base (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable)
Inst cpp-3.2 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable)
Inst libgcc1 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable)
Inst gcc-3.2 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable)
Conf libc6-dev (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable)
Conf locales (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable)
Conf binutils (2.13.90.0.4-1 Debian:unstable)
Conf gcc-3.2-base (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable)
Conf cpp-3.2 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable)
Conf libgcc1 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable)
Conf gcc-3.2 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable)

I am nervous about the removal of modutils and modconf and the update 
of binutils libc6 libc6-dev libgcc1 locales.  Will this mess up my 
current testing development enviroment or are the dependencies such 
that things will just work?

As an aside, I am developing some code that may have triggered a g++ 
bug in 3.0.4 on a powerpc box and want to see if things are fixed in 
3.2.  I depend on this box to get my daily work done but don't want to 
mess it up.

Thanks,

John Schmidt
