Package: gcc-4.3
Version: 4.3.2-1

/usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs says:

    There are complete instructions in the gcc info manual (found in the
    gcc-doc package), section Bugs.

The gcc info manual in gcc-doc (version 5:2), in that section,
has a list of criteria for reporting bugs, but then the section
titled "How and where to Report Bugs" contains only one sentence:

    Bugs should be reported to the bug database at
    http://bugs.debian.org/.

If these are indeed the complete instructions, then I would
suggest that they be inserted directly into README.Bugs instead
of forwarding the reader to the Info manual.

It also seems odd that the "Summarized bug reporting
instructions" later on in README.Bugs are much longer than the
"complete" bug reporting instructions given in the info manual.
I think that something must be missing.

This bug has been reported against an ancient version of
gpc (4.1), gcc/g++/gfortran (4.3), or gcj/gij/gobjc (4.4), that was last
released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze). But even squeeze-lts has now reached
end-of-life and is no longer supported.
The bug is assumed to be fixed (or no longer relevant) in newer GCC
releases and therefore I'm closing this report now. If the problem is
still reproducible in the currently supported versions (gcc-5, gcc-6 or
corresponding g++/gcj), feel free to provide more information, reopen
and reassign this bug report.
