I noticed this as well, but theres an explanation. The C++ ABI between GCC 3.1 and 3.2-pre is not binary compatible. Thus, the newer libstdc++ package is NOT compatible with older C++ programs. Therefore, they all had to be updated at once. Just bit the bullet and start downloading packages necessary to do one big honkin upgrade. Shalrath
