hmm ... just took another look at the package descriptions. It seemsthat the problem is libg2c0. How come this still depends on an olderversion of gcc-3.4.6? I link some of my programs with some FORTRANlibraries and need libg2c0. So for now I have been keeping gcc-3.4 atits older version during every upgrade. So, what's the deal with libg2c0?
