I wonder if it because I am upgrading from a previous version of gcc-3.0-sparc64. apt-get update does not change (I have the latest) I don't want to do a dist-upgrade because there seems to be a problem with all the gnome-games being removed: The following packages will be REMOVED: gnome-card-games gnome-games gnome-gataxx gnome-glines gnome-gnibbles gnome-gnobots2 gnome-gnometris gnome-gnomine gnome-gnotravex gnome-gnotski gnome-gtali gnome-iagno gnome-mahjongg gnome-same-gnome gnome-stones in any event, I tried removing gcc-3.0-sparc64 and get another error: The following packages will be REMOVED: gcc-3.0-sparc64 libc6-dev-sparc64 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 2 not upgraded. 1 packages not fully installed or removed.
