*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
Binary package hint: gcc
OS: Ubuntu 7.10 x86.
Plain "gcc" and "g++" packages default to prerelease 4.1.x versions
while normal gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2 are available.
So I was forced to remove plain "gcc" and "g++" packages, install the
gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2 versions, and create links using "ln", named "gcc"
and "g++", to /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 and /usr/bin/g++-4.2 respectively.
I think the prerelease versions may contain bugs/deficiencies/ and
security issues to produced programs, so I think the "gcc and "g++"
should be changed to link to the official releases ASAP.
