Package: gcc

First time I run dselect on my system, I tried to install a whole bunch
of stuff, including gcc, of course.  Ended the selection phase with no
conflicts wrt gcc.  But in the installation phase, dselect tried to
install gcc first.  That failed, apparently because it relies on
binutils to be installed before it.  binutils was selected, but I
could not figure out how to control the order of installation, so that
meant that I had to go back a deselect gcc and everything that depends
on it, install, and then reselect gcc, etc, and install again.  Given
the number of things that depend on gcc and the time I had spent
chosing the devel packages I wanted, this was annoying.

There is nothing wrong with the gcc dependencies as far as I can
tell.  I'm going to redirect this to dpkg.

I'm not an expert on this, but what in "binutils" is necessary for gcc
to install properly?

If any part of binutils is necessary for "install", then binutils probably
needs to be listed under "Pre-Depends" instead of just "Depends".

No, pre-depends should /only/ be used on system critical things like
libc5, bash, dpkg, etc.  gcc should have NO pre-depends lines!

This bug is a dselect bug, not a gcc bug.  The gcc depends are correct,
and always have been.  It relates to the problems involved with
installing many packages using dpkg-ftp, which dosen't know how to order
the packages according to dependency information.

Take this off the critical list or don't, but please redirect it to the
dpkg maintainer.

Okay.  The two lines at the top of this message (and the CC to control@bugs)
are how you reassign bugs.
