Bug Description

Dear all,

With the upgrade to GCC 4.9 packages that occurred recently on Trusty (upgrading to 4.9.3-0ubuntu4), Vivid now provides an older GCC 4.9 release (4.9.2-10ubuntu13) [1].

The side effect of that thing is that it's not possible to upgrade from Trusty to Vivid any longer, due to the needed 'downgrade' of GCC. Aptitude will output unmet dependencies such as:
 libasan1 : Depends: gcc-4.9-base (= 4.9.2-10ubuntu13) but 4.9.3-0ubuntu4 is installed.
 libquadmath0 : Depends: gcc-4.9-base (= 4.9.2-10ubuntu13) but 4.9.3-0ubuntu4 is installed.

Cheers,

Upgrades from trusty to vivid are not supported; only from trusty to utopic, and utopic to vivid. But utopic is end-of-life, and vivid will be so in two weeks (Feb 04 2016). Won't fix for the distro. You can find updated gcc-4.9 packages in
