[Bob Corner]

SRU info: the fix is to not ship these files in the cross packages. Validate by building and checking that these files are not available.

Did not install right. Think it is to do with the Nvidia Jetson board compiler hooked up to my Ubuntu system.

These commands Can repare it。
1、sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite libstdc++6-armhf-cross*
2、sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite libstdc++-4.8-dev-armhf-cross*

[Sean Jones (neuralsandwich)]

Unless you have downloaded those packages, those commands don't fix this issue.
Also this is an issue with the package, which is why I have changed the status back to confirmed

[moriarty (alexander-moriarty)]

I also started having increased issues after running the nvidia jetson setup

I downloaded the packages as mentioned by Sean Jones and ran the commands mentioned by sfe1012, however they did not solve the issue.

However, it lead to more useful error messages and in the end I was able get everything working.

Here is what worked:

[Ivan Fedorov (oxyum)]

Just use following command for temporary fixing this issue:

$ sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install -f

[csmcd5 (geek-n)]

The following command also seems to temporarily resolve it.

sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libstdc++6-armhf-cross_4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.1cross0.11.1_all.deb

[specialshoot (hanzhi911228-6)]

The way Ivan Fedorov said is right.

[iskenderoguz (iskenderoguz)]

After I use Ivan Fedorov's command I get this:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
   binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf (2.24-5ubuntu13cross1.98.1)
   cpp-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf (4.7.3-11ubuntu1cross1.85)
   gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf (4.7.3-11ubuntu1cross1.85)
   libc6-dev-armhf-cross (2.19-0ubuntu2cross1.104)

   linux-libc-dev-armhf-cross (3.13.0-12.32cross1.104)
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

This did not happen before. Is it normal ?

[Ivan Fedorov (oxyum)]

iskenderoguz, don't worry. That's normal.

This message is just notification that says about gcc-4.7-armhf installed on your system. If your code doesn't depend on gcc-4.7 specifics and successfully compiles with gcc-4.8 you can safely remove that packages via autoremove feature of Apt.

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Hello Bob, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gcc-4.8-armhf-cross into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8-armhf-cross/0.11.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

built as expected.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gcc-4.8-armhf-cross - 0.11.2

The verification of the Stable Release Update for gcc-4.8-armhf-cross has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

[Bob Corner (bobbycorner)]

Everything is working great now, thanks for fixing things. :-)
