If GCC is being installed by default, that sounds like a bug to me, it's certainly not part of any of the sets of packages that SHOULD be installed by default.
If you're using a high-level package manager (ie: not apt-get) to install gcc, it will recommend that you also install libc6-dev at the same time. There are legitimate reasons to not require that libc6-dev be installed when GCC is (it's definitely not required to make GCC work), so we won't add it as a hard dependency ever. -- libc6-dev should be loaded by default IMHO https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
