I think that I've found the problem: Install happens in this way: Preparing to replace cpp-4.0 4.0.2-5 (using cpp-4.0_4.0.2-6_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement cpp-4.0 ...

Preparing to replace libstdc++6-4.0-dev 4.0.2-5 (using libstdc++6-4.0-dev_4.0.2-6_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libstdc++6-4.0-dev ... Preparing to replace libstdc++6 4.0.2-5 (using libstdc++6_4.0.2-6_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libstdc++6 ... Setting up gcc-4.0-base (4.0.2-6) ... Setting up libstdc++6 (4.0.2-6) ... Setting up cpp-4.0 (4.0.2-6) ... Setting up gcc-4.0 (4.0.2-6) ... Setting up libstdc++6-4.0-dev (4.0.2-6) ... Setting up g++-4.0 (4.0.2-6) ... Good. Let see what happened. It first installs gcc-4.0-base. This packages contains the changelog.Debian.gz and also the copyright file (that is missing too, when upgrading). If we have all packages on version 4.0.2-5 and we install *just* gcc-4.0-base from version 4.0.2-6, the changelog.Debian.gz is there. So, the problem is not on this package. The problem is on libstdc++6! libstdc++6 from version 4.0.2-5 has the files (an other too): -rw-r--r-- root/root 27904 2005-09-17 12:36:48 ./usr/share/doc/libstdc++6/co pyright -rw-r--r-- root/root 53 2005-12-01 22:10:32 ./usr/share/doc/libstdc++6/RE ADME.Debian -rw-r--r-- root/root 62788 2005-12-01 17:08:04 ./usr/share/doc/libstdc++6/ch angelog.Debian.gz BUT: # ls -l /usr/share/doc/libstdc++6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 7 02:11 /usr/share/doc/libstdc++6 -> gcc-4.0-base So, actually, it installed the files on /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.0-base, and not on /usr/share/doc/libstdc++6 I am doing all this on my machine, using packages from version 4.0.2-5 Going back to our analysis of what happens on the install: gcc-4.0-base installs all the files correctly. When libstdc++6 is going to be installed, it first removes the old files (including changelog.Debian.gz and copyright), and after that, installs the new ones, right? So, it removes changelog.Debian.gz and copyright that was installed from gcc-4.0-base. Since libstdc++6 from version 4.0.2-6 doesn't include those files anymore, we end with a system without changelog.Debian.gz and copyright. Am I right? (Or not?) I hope I could help and that I was clear. Best regards, Nelson
