The problem with gcc and cpp is being discussed atm. > # dselect update > > dpkg (subprocess): failed to exec C compiler `gcc': No such file or directory > dpkg: subprocess gcc --print-libgcc-file-name returned error exit status 2 This is due to dpkg-ftp calling `dpkg --print-architecture' rather than `dpkg --print-installation-architecture'.
