Package: gcc-3.0
Version: 1:3.0-1
Severity: minor
The gcc series of packages (gcc-2.95, gcc-3.0, g++-*, etc.) should use the
Debian
alternatives properly.
Right now this is the situation:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/bin$ ls -l gcc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 28 15:56 gcc -> gcc-2.95
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70332 Jun 4 12:43 gcc-2.95
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75004 Jun 18 17:01 gcc-3.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15660 Jun 18 13:26 gccbug-3.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/bin$ cd /etc/alternatives/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/alternatives$ ls -l cc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 28 16:07 cc -> /usr/bin/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 May 28 16:07 cc.1.gz ->
/usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/alternatives$
It should look like this I believe:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/bin$ ls -l gcc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 28 15:56 gcc ->
/etc/alternatives/cc
^^^^^^^
now points to alternatives
in etc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70332 Jun 4 12:43 gcc-2.95
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75004 Jun 18 17:01 gcc-3.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15660 Jun 18 13:26 gccbug-3.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/bin$ cd /etc/alternatives/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/alternatives$ ls -l cc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 28 16:07 cc -> /usr/bin/gcc-2.95
^^^^^^^
properly selecting an actual
compiler
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 May 28 16:07 cc.1.gz ->
/usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/alternatives$
The same stuff is going on in the other gcc packages.
Would the maintainer please tell me how to easily file this bug report to the
other gcc related
packages if and when he replies?
