Package: gcc-4.1
Version: 4.1.1-21
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Perhaps I should have said it breaks the entire system because depending
on what drivers you need, most GUI applications are severely affected
and you have no reasonable way to try new driver versions.
I just did a dist-upgrade. Kernel version 2.6.16-1-686
You can't recompile kernel modules because the kernel was compiled with
gcc 4.0 and you can not compile loadable kernel modules with gcc 4.1 for
a kernel compiled with 4.0. Actually, you can compile them but you can't
load them because of the kernel version difference. Without the ability
to compile kernel modules, you can't recompile the nvidia drivers (direct
from nvidia). And there are SEVERE display update problems in the
current configuration.
gcc-4.1 should not have been put in unstable without also putting
in a new kernel version that was compiled with 4.1 as well as all the
packages which include loadable kernel modules. Also, gcc-4.1
should have had "conflicts with kernel-2.6.16-1-686, etc.".
See bug #4047244 (kernel) and #282183 (nvidia drivers)

This report is invalid. As you state yourself, "Actually, you can compile them
but you can't load them because of the kernel version difference."
I strongly suggest you to reinstall a Debian release which is appropriate for
your level of Debian knowledge, that is stable or testing.
