Re: Re: Reg: Error in apt-get install in libstdc++ package

[Balamurugan <emailstorbala@gmail.com>]

Dear Ralf,

I tried 'apt-get update' but didn't tried 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. I have 
simply installed the Debian 7.0(Wheezy), imported the debian 
repositories near to india and just ran the below:

apt-get update
apt-get install libstdc++

It had libstdc++6 installed already. I expected either it would update 
to the latest libstdc++ else say the existing package itself is latest 
but unfortunately it gave the mentioned error.

I have another machine which has CentOS 6.4. In that I ran 'yum install 
libstdc++' and it said the existing package is the latest. Hence I felt 
something is wrong in my Debian 7.0 (Wheezy).

Doesn't the command 'apt-get dist-upgrade' will do Debian version 
upgrade (distribution) or will it upgrade libstdc++?

Sorry for too many confusions in my mail. I am new in using the debian 
package maintenance system.

Thanks and Regards,
Balamurugan R
