If you want to see the changes between the versions, you can open aptitude, select the gcc-4.1 package and press 'C' (or was it a lowercase 'c'?) to view the changelog of the package. This hopefully clarifies what has changed. There is probably a command-line tool to show the changelog. And you can view it from packages.debian.org . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
