Chris, The requested output is inserted above per your request. This happened about 2-3 nights ago, and several other packages were "removed". I cannot recall exactly which ones, but one of them was the kernel-source for 2.2.19. None were anthing "critical" so I let it go ahead. Another thing that might be responsible, is that I was fooling around with the Compaq C compiler a few months ago and I DID change the gcc pointer to point to it. I have NOT removed it (CCC) to the best of my recollection. This might have messed up something in the package installer...dunno. Currently /usr/bin/gcc is linked to gcc-3.0 and I can't really find any reference to the Compaq C Compiler anymore.... I forget if I have done a re-install since then or not. I suspect I have, which would have wiped out the previous CCC install. I just re-installed gcc-2.95 and all is well now. The responses to the above "dpkg -l" commands show it there and linked properly. Cheers, -Don Spoon-
