Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: g++-4.1

In feisty, the package g++-4.1 depends on libstdc++6-4.1-dev, but
libstdc++6-4.1-dev depends on g++-4.1.  I didn't think such loops were
allowed.

The same situation exists in dapper, with version 4.0 instead of 4.1, so
this is not a new problem with feisty.

It probably doesn't cause problems if apt-get is used to install the
packages.  However, if someone without an internet connection is
installing packages by downloading them elsewhere and then using gdebi
to install them, it will not be possible to to install g++-4.1.  This
situation was reported here:
