Subject: dpkg: executes gcc but does not depend on it
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 2.93
Reply-to: swift@alum.mit.edu

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.8

at some point dpkg (perhaps dpkg-ftp?) tries to execute

  gcc --print-libgcc-file-name

but dpkg does not depend on gcc.  The error did not seem to cause any problems
with my installation.
