hmm ... just took another look at the package descriptions. It seems
that the problem is libg2c0. How come this still depends on an older
version of gcc-3.4.6? I link some of my programs with some FORTRAN
libraries and need libg2c0. So for now I have been keeping gcc-3.4 at
its older version during every upgrade. So, what's the deal with libg2c0?
Looks like support for the old legacy compilers is reaching its end of
life:

You might consider transitioning to something newer, if possible.
Ah, right. I went over the bug report and I must say the original
submitter has a valid point.
I am currently using this compiler to interface my C++ code with some
FORTRAN libraries which I compile only occasionally. Looks like using
gfortran for that might possible give problems or be noisy.
So, based no this, I am going to hold gcc-3.4.6 for now.
Thanks for the pointer, it cleared up my aptitude doubts perfectly.
