multiarch. the libgcc1 in the multiarch location makes the libgcc_s.so symlinks
in gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.5 invalid.

[Erick Moreno (erickmoreno)]

The same is happen with me but I think that I have problems with other packages. There's my apt.log attached.

[graingert (tagrain)]

I un-installed gcj-4.4-jre and I still get the error

[graingert (tagrain)]

I un-installed gcj-4.4-jre and I still get the error

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

trying to understand why that many people do have gcj-4.4 installed ... command-not-found still recommends gcj, if java or javac are not found. so the default recommendations should be changed to default-jre and default-jdk.

graingert: please try to uninstall gcj-4.4-jre-headless or even libgcj-common

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

Mvo, shall we add a priority file entry for java?

[anatoly techtonik (techtonik)]

From the Java apps I remember, I tried to use Eclipse and Netbeans IDEs. I also remember that Ubuntu version was outdated, so it was probably from 3rd party .deb Could this trigger installation of gcj?

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

@zyga: yes, I think a priority file is a great idea.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

The additional breaks fix the problem for me now

This bug was fixed in the package eglibc - 2.13-20ubuntu4

---------------
eglibc (2.13-20ubuntu4) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - help the apt resolver with the gcc-4.4 upgrade by providing
      explicit breaks against {gnat,gcc,gcj}-{4.4,4.5}-base (LP: #853688)

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

The command-not-found side doesn't look like a blocker for release... we could always clean this up in SRU if it's important. (The real damage was already done when users installed gcj-4.4 pre-oneiric, fixing c-n-f in oneiric isn't critical-path.)

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

I'm reopening this report. It is still an issue with current packages in Oneiric from an uptodate natty with gcj-4.4-jre-headless installed.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

It turned out that there is a incorrect breaks in gcc-.4.4-base:

Package: gcc-4.4-base
Breaks: gcj-4.4-rmadison gcj-4.4-base

aber:
gcj-4.4-base | 4.4.6-2ubuntu2 | oneiric | amd64, armel, i386, powerpc

So there is copy/paste errror: 4.4.6 vs 4.6.1

I'm having the problem with ia32-libs on my system. I removed it, and the upgrade now works.
