Hendrik, I see. Now that's another statement ! Maybe you should move to grub then, within Squeeze, and also try to upgrade only the 'problem' packages first ? if that's all fine, to the rest ? I always do such things within aptitude, maybe in several cycles, since it gives me more choices

Hi, With the sound of the ever approaching freeze ringing loudly in our ears, we're (somewhat belatedly) looking at finalising the list of release architectures for the Wheezy release. Comments on / additions and corrections to the content of http://release.debian.org/wheezy/arch_qualify.html

targeting GCC 4.7.0 as the wheezy default for some architectures

2012-04-04 Thread Matthias Klose
on other architectures is welcome. The Java and Go frontends already default to 4.7, the D frontend may be updated for 4.7 in time (currently unused, as all D packages are built using gdc-v1). As I understand Ludovic, the Ada frontend will stay with 4.6. GCC-4.4 will stay in wheezy (D v1 frontend
