Title: [solved] gcc-8 to be removed
Post by: jyp on 2020/04/02, 18:29:08

Being a bit overdue for a full-upgrade, I have been worried for a few days about the removal of gcc-8 in spite of the fact that it has a upgrading candidate.

Code: [Select]

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gcc-8 libdns1109 libgcc-8-dev libhdf5-103

Code: [Select]

apt-cache policy gcc-8
gcc-8:
  Installed: 8.4.0-1
  Candidate: 8.4.0-2
  Version table:
     8.4.0-2 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
 *** 8.4.0-1 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Is it safe to run a d-u?
Thank you.

Not removed here…

Code: [Select]

# apt upgrade
(…)
The following packages have been kept back:
  cpp-9 g++-9 gcc-9 gcc-9-base libasan5 libgcc-9-dev libstdc++-9-dev
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.
See [SOLVED] Caution: cpp-8 Upgrade Will Cause Removals (https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=7925)
If you have gcc-9, cpp-9 installed, then loose gcc-8*, ditto with libdns1109 (= libdns1110).
But i don't have an libhdf5-* package.

libhdf5-103 is replaced by libhdf5-103-1.

Thanks
gcc-8 was raising question for me because it could be upgraded [8.4.0-1 ---> 8.4.0-2]
Why a newer version if gcc-9 replaces it?

The last du removed gcc-8 without any problem here on two machines.

As of today, after updating, no more removal of gcc-8.
Thanks
