Hello,

bcc is a package (and executable) name that is already in use for
another program in Debian. From https://packages.debian.org/sid/bcc:

 "Package: bcc

  16-bit x86 C compiler

  This is a C-compiler for 8086 cpus which is important for the
  development of boot loaders or BIOS related 8086 code.

  It is possible to run 8086 code under i386 Linux using an
  emulator, `elksemu', also included in this package."
