3 different versions of gcc and cpp with every new kernel.
on every kernel update it installs gcc and cpp 4.3 and 4.4, also there is gcc and cpp version 4.5 installed by sid. is it really needed to have so many compilers and preprocessors installed with every kernel? i have observed that if i purge the 4.3 and 4.4 version it doesn't remove anything else. also i have the suggested and recommended packages set to off in apt.conf

Well, this is what apt-cache show lists for the linux headers of 2.6.37-4.dmz.1
:: Code :: Package: linux-headers-2.6.37-4.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64
Source: linux-liquorix-2.6 Version: 2.6.37-15 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: Steven Barrett <damentz@liquorix.net> Installed-Size: 43920 Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.14.21) Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), gcc-4.4 I can make the kernel depend on gcc-4.5 (which I was actually planning on doing on my next build). But thanks for bringing it up. Back to top |

just installed the latest kernel it brings up gcc 4.5 as a dependency. the one that installs all the other versions is smxi:
:: Code :: OK, now the script will install kernel 2.6.38-1.dmz.1-liquorix-686 for you.

How can I install gcc-4.5 in Debian Squeeze? I see this package is in Wheezy but I don't want to switch to testing all my distro packages.
