Why does xbase-clients (and xdm and xutils) depend on cpp-3.2?
If it really does need a C preprocessor why isn't the dependancy on cpp (>=3.2)
or something else sensible.
I currently have a machine with limited disk space. I already have gcc-2.95
for compiling the kernel and gcc-3.3 for just about everything else. Having
to install parts of gcc-3.2 as well just seems strange.

The Debian Bug Tracking System is not an appropriate forum for asking
questions; it is for reporting defects in the Debian OS or requesting
feature changes or implementations.

If you would read the package changelog, you'd know the answer to your
question.
xfree86 (4.2.1-7) unstable; urgency=3Dmedium
[...]
* patch #001a: #define CppCmd as "cpp-3.2" in gnu.cf; same for linux.cf w=
hen
using a Debian system
[...]
* debian/control:
[...]
- Build-Depend on cpp-3.2; xbase-clients and xdm now Depend on cpp-3.2
instead of just cpp, since cpp-3.3 doesn't produce correct output (as
far as XFree86 is concerned) when the "-traditional" flag is used
("-traditional-cpp" doesn't work, either).

In the future, please ask questions in an appropriate forum (such as the
debian-user mailing list) instead of abusing the Debian BTS for this
purpose.
Closing this spurious report.
