Package: gcc-6-base
Version: 6.3.0-18
Severity: important
Hi Doko,
would it be possible to use gcc-6-base as the bigger hammer to smoothen
the openjdk 7 -> 8 upgrade from jessie to stretch?
The Breaks: tzdata-java added in openjdk-8-jre-headless (#857992)
improved the situation a lot, but I still see some corner cases where
switching to openjdk-8 is not considered by apt, and instead some jessie
packages are kept installed (the openjdk-7 stack, and especially tzdata
is kept at the jessie version (that still has tzdata-java)).
A versioned Breaks against some openjdk-7 package would not work due to
new upstream releases being uploaded to (old)stable frequently.
An unversioned Breaks against some openjdk-7 package would render the
packages from experimental uninstallable in sid.
gcc-6-base should have a high enough score in apt to stop any attempts
to keep tzdata-java or openjdk-7 (from jessie) installed.
I'll now build a gcc-6 with that Breaks added ...

Version: 6.5.0-2+rm
src:gcc-6 was last released with Debian 9 (stretch)
in June 2017 and was removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by newer versions.
See https://bugs.debian.org/920171 for details on the removal.
After regular security support for stretch ended in July 2020 and LTS
support ended in July 2022, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
In case the bug is still present in recent releases, please reopen and
reassign it.
Andreas
