58 It has been around for a while but I don't think it actually breaks
59 anything. I have never had a problem with my system and it did that for
60 ages.
61
62 My workaround has always been to just oneshot everything but gcc and
63 then rerun revdep-rebuild -i -p again to make sure the other problems
64 were fixed. Of course, it would be good if it worked to begin with.
65 Then again, I would rather a bug that breaks something be fixed first
66 too. o_O
67
68 I have gcc-4.1.2 installed here and I do not get that error. It is
69 masked but no problems for me so far. Could it be that specific version
70 of gcc you have maybe? Maybe someone else can chime in on what version
71 they have and if they get that error or not.
72
73 Glad to have helped.
