cannot install 3.18 headers on ubuntu based distro
Even though I have the package gcc-4.9-base on this install, the headers are looking for gcc-4.9, which isn't a valid package on ubuntu. Can you please update the deps to be more ubuntu friendly?

iluvtux, what version of Ubuntu are you running? I have a laptop running Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 and the upgrade to 3.18 with gcc 4.9 worked without any manual intervention.
Here's my repository configuration: :: Code :: $ inxi -r

I'm actually on Linux Mint. THis is what I get when I try to install GCC 4.9
:: Code ::

Please answer the question he asked:
show: inxi -bxxxr linux mint is hard to impossible to support, and you have to provide the complete system info requested to even see what mint you are using. Despite what clem pretends, mint is NOT debian and it is NOT ubuntu. Back to top |

Well, it was working up until the latest update, and I guess I've been mislead to think it's an ubuntu based distro. The output:

Looks like your version of Linux Mint depends on Ubuntu Trusty, or version 14.04. Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't have gcc-4.9 - you'll have to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10. However, you'll need to wait for Mint to upgrade their packages and give you an upgrade path to 14.10.
Your other option is just to ditch mint all-together, but that's up to you. This is the reason that h2 says Linux Mint is not Ubuntu. It bundles enough packages on top of Ubuntu that it actively prohibits you from upgrading safely until the developers of Mint prepare them all for the next version. At this point, Mint is no longer a thin respin (better defaults and convenience packages), but a brand new distribution (unique packages, hard dependencies to its distro base, and incompatible with base distribution upgrade path - requires its own).
