Why is that invalid? The fact that libstdc++5 is uninstallable on
powerpc in intrepid is an Ubuntu bug...

Hello,

I asked over #ubuntu-bugs and :

<thekorn> Rafik, yes, it looks like a bug in gcc-3.3
<thekorn> but I think it will be marked as won't fix, with a similar argument as in bug 326964

Hi all

ppc-codecs doesn't install because it needs libstdc++5 and it wont install because it need gcc-3.3-base.
gcc-3.3-base contains no code whatsoever it has some reference docs in it, it also has no dependencies.

The libstdc++5 as supplied in Intrepid powerpc release wont install because it needs gcc-3.3-base not the whole of gcc-3.3

Does installing libstdc++5 break any other packages? If not can a dummy/transition package be made called gcc-3.3-base

I've done it myself and so far it's working.

ppc-codecs_20071007-0medibuntu1_powerpc.deb requires libstdc++5_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_powerpc.deb
libstdc++5_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_powerpc.deb requires gcc-3.3-base_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_powerpc.deb

Thanks Robyn
