** Description changed:

  The package g++-4.1 depends on libstdc++6-4.1-dev, but
  libstdc++6-4.1-dev depends on g++-4.1.  Such loops should not be allowed
  since they prevent usage of non-repository-based package installation
  procedures like gdebi and dpkg -i. People who do not have internet
  connections may need to use such non-repository-based procedures after
  downloading from elsewhere. Dependency cycles shut out such users so
  they should not be allowed.
  
  This problem exists since Dapper where it was with version 4.0. With
  Feisty it is with version 4.1. With Gutsy it is with both 4.1 and 4.2.
+ With Hardy it is version 4.3.
