Today I learnt that g++-7, g++-8 and g++ are three different packages. Installing the lastest g++ got me `g++ --version` yielding version 8 Before: $ dpkg -l g++\* | grep ^ii ii g++ 4:7.3.0-3 amd64 GNU C++ compiler ii g++-7 7.3.0-25 amd64 GNU C++ compiler ii g++-8 8.1.0-10 amd64 GNU C++ compiler After: $ dpkg -l g++\* | grep ^ii ii g++ 4:8.1.0-1 amd64 GNU C++ compiler ii g++-7 7.3.0-25 amd64 GNU C++ compiler ii g++-8 8.1.0-10 amd64 GNU C++ compiler I now have the FTBFS reproduced. Thank you. Groeten Geert Stappers -- Leven en laten leven
