Re: How do I do a sid upgrade and not get the gcc 3.2 stuff?

My problem is that I keep getting strange dependencies and no matter
how I do the dselect sublists, it keeps wanting to give me those 3.2
items -- I am not sure whether it will delete my 2.95 ones or not,
but I don't want to take any chances.  I had the gcc 3.2 stuff on
hold, but dselect now took them off hold instead.
