Well, seems the gcc272 package is broken.

Your installation is not 100% ok. I don't believe native-install (did you run it?) run without errors. > I get similar messages that cpp (>=2.91.66) is not configured, and > binutils (>= 2.9.1) is not configured.

The dpkg in the archive (and tar file) is a bit oldish but has epoch support. (Lack of epoch support predates even the hurd :) > Hmmm.

What output did it produce? It will configure the packages, only THEN the installation is complete. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
