Well, let's be a bit analytical about this rather than just repeating
assertions at each other! Also, I don't know what "perhaps move to apt-
get" means; the original reporter *was* using apt-get.
The version of g++ stated in the dependency is definitely available in
hardy:
g++ | 4:4.2.3-1ubuntu3 | hardy | amd64, i386
g++ | 4:4.2.3-1ubuntu6 | hardy-updates | amd64, i386
I think the chances are that something is broken on the reporter's
system, but apt-get's error message is just not very helpful in tracking
down the root cause. It's very unlikely to be a bug in build-essential,
but it would be helpful to figure out what's actually happening so that
we know the proper place to reassign this bug if it isn't just a local
problem. Andy, could you please revert any changes you made to try to
work around this bug, then run 'sudo apt-get install g++' and see what
that says? Repeat with each new package it lists until you get a more
useful error message.
