Package: xutils
Version: 4.2.1-6
Severity: wishlist
Why does the unstable version (not the one listed) suddenly depend on gcc-3.2?
The changelog is full of stuff about why gcc-3.3 won't work for building, but says
nothing about runtime.
I don't like having to install two different gcc's just to keep X up to date.

The Debian Bug Tracking System is not an appropriate forum for asking
questions. It is for reporting defects in the Debian system, or for
requesting enhancements.

If you'd read the changelog more carefully, you'd have seen the answers
you seek:
xfree86 (4.2.1-8) unstable; urgency=3Dhigh
[...]
* debian/control:
[...]
- xutils depends on cpp-3.2, because imake uses cpp (thanks, James Trou=
p)
(Closes: #196176)
[...]
xfree86 (4.2.1-7) unstable; urgency=3Dmedium
[...]
- Build-Depend on cpp-3.2; xbase-clients and xdm now Depend on cpp-3.2
instead of just cpp, since cpp-3.3 doesn't produce correct output (as
far as XFree86 is concerned) when the "-traditional" flag is used
("-traditional-cpp" doesn't work, either).

It's cpp you're installing, not gcc.
If you don't like having to install two versions of cpp, prevail upon
GCC upstream to fix the bug, or help them write regression tests that
keep these sorts of bugs from getting into their releases in the first
place.
In the future, mail questions like this to the debian-user mailing list,
please. If you cannot get an answer there, you may try the debian-x
mailing list.
But please don't abuse the Debian BTS as you have just done.
Closing this spurious report.
