Hi, I am running a testing box and would like to try out gcc-3.2 which is in unstable. I have created an apt-preferences file with the appropriate information and updated my sources.list to include unstable. As a check I ran:
golden:/home/jas# apt-get install -s -t unstable gcc-3.2 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: binutils cpp-3.2 gcc-3.2-base libc6 libc6-dev libgcc1 locales The following packages will be REMOVED: modconf modutils The following NEW packages will be installed: cpp-3.2 gcc-3.2 gcc-3.2-base 5 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 2 to remove and 120 not upgraded. Remv modconf (0.2.43 Debian:testing) Remv modutils (2.4.19-3 Debian:unstable) Inst libc6-dev (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable) [] Inst locales (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable) [] Inst libc6 (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable) Conf libc6 (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable) Inst binutils (2.13.90.0.4-1 Debian:unstable) Inst gcc-3.2-base (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable) Inst cpp-3.2 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable) Inst libgcc1 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable) Inst gcc-3.2 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable) Conf libc6-dev (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable) Conf locales (2.2.5-14 Debian:unstable) Conf binutils (2.13.90.0.4-1 Debian:unstable) Conf gcc-3.2-base (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable) Conf cpp-3.2 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable) Conf libgcc1 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable) Conf gcc-3.2 (1:3.2.1-0pre1 Debian:unstable) I am nervous about the removal of modutils and modconf and the update of binutils libc6 libc6-dev libgcc1 locales. Will this mess up my current testing development enviroment or are the dependencies such that things will just work? As an aside, I am developing some code that may have triggered a g++ bug in 3.0.4 on a powerpc box and want to see if things are fixed in 3.2. I depend on this box to get my daily work done but don't want to mess it up. Thanks, John Schmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
