Re: upgrading g++-3.3 gcc-3.3 libstdc++5-3.3-dev

It's been reported as a bug.
The workaround is to force the installation of the packages if you need them and there's no other errors reported. 

dpkg -i --force-all <packagefile>

i'm getting overwrite problems when trying to apt-get upgrade the

it seems the problem is in
/usr/share/doc/<package>/changelog.Debian.gz, which the new package
(replacing old package), fails to overwrite.

any help would be appreciated ... more info below:
