Hey, I am new in Trisquel.

I am using Trisquel version 5.5 standard edition. I need GCC for compiling software, but there is no GCC on trisquel 5.5. So I follow installation instructions from this topic.

when I typed this,

sudo aptitude install gcc

the output warn me:


The following NEW packages will be installed:
  binutils{a} gcc gcc-4.6{a} libc-dev-bin{a} libc6-dev{a} libquadmath0{a}
  linux-libc-dev{a} manpages{a} manpages-dev{a}
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  apt-clone{u} archdetect-deb{u} dpkg-repack{u} gir1.2-gstreamer-0.10{u}
  gir1.2-timezonemap-1.0{u} libdebconfclient0{u} libdebian-installer4{u}
  libtimezonemap1{u} python-argparse{u} python-pyicu{u} python-xklavier{u}
  rdate{u}
0 packages upgraded, 9 newly installed, 12 to remove and 112 not upgraded.
Need to get 18.3 MB of archives. After unpacking 50.3 MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] n


So I aborted the installation, because there are packages which have to be removed if I continued. I am afraid of destroying the system or missing some program.

Is there another "Safe" way to install GCC on trisquel?
