Package: gcc-4.4 Version: 4.4.4-7 Severity: wishlist When cross building the gcc-4.4-4.4.4-7 pacakage, the build no longer generates a gcc-4.4-*-gnueabi-base package as part of the default build. The control file, however still references such a package as a dependency for installing the gcc-4.4-*-gnueabi package. This results in an install failure, since the dependent package is not built as follows:
Selecting previously deselected package gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi. (Reading database ... 147392 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi (from gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi_4.4.4-7_i386.deb) ... Selecting previously deselected package cpp-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi.

Errors were encountered while processing: gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi cpp-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi This behavior seems to be new since gcc-4.4-4.4.4-6, where I encountered no such problem, and the -base package built as part of the default build. I see some notes in the 4.4.4-7 changelog that might be related as follows: * Various cross build fixes. * Build a gcc-base package for cross builds.
