For the record, gcc does in fact have a update-alternatives link: # update-alternatives --display cc cc - auto mode link currently points to /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc - priority 20 Current 'best' version is '/usr/bin/gcc'. This is so that configure will work properly if it's searching for 'cc'. Also, I finally found the g++ package, hidden in the "Not Found Packages" vs. "New Packages". Must have been when I updated preferences and pins. Any idea why there's a separate g++ package? All this provides is a separate g++, which could easily be a linkage to one of the versions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
