You can do this one of two ways (There may actually be more ways than
this):

dpkg -i --force-conflicts /path-to-package/gcc*.deb
dpkg --purge cpp

or

dpkg --purge --force-depends cpp
dpkg -i /path-to-package/gcc*.deb

Hope this helps,

Hi,

 You can do this one of two ways (There may actually be more ways than
 this):

 dpkg -i --force-conflicts /path-to-package/gcc*.deb
 dpkg --purge cpp

You can even NOT do it, since gcc Depends: on cpp. Actually it would have
deleted cpp already if it conflicts with gcc.

Greetings
Bernd

Replacing CPP with GCC

[Edward Urenda]

I had installed the cpp package in lieu of installing gcc.  I find myself
getting more into programming and will require gcc.

I have tried to avoid using deseled, opting to choose dpkg -i instead.
How can I remove cpp without breaking any dependencies and replace it with
gcc, since the two cannot coexist.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Eddie Urenda
