5) (developers and TUs) The gcc package has been split in gcc and gcc-libs. Packages must not depend on gcc anymore, all those packages should be changed to depend on gcc-libs. This allows us to use C++ applications without forcing users to have gcc installled. Please update your packages as soon as possible.
Related to that: There are lots of packages that depend on libstdc++5 while they shouldn't. Just a reminder: The only packages that should depend on libstdc++5 are closed-source C++ programs that have been compiled with gcc 3.3 or earlier. Any newer program or any program that is open source (and you compile it yourself) will link against libstdc++.so.6 (NOT .5) and only need gcc-libs as a dependency. Please check your packages: extra/network/d4x/PKGBUILD - not needed extra/network/bincimap/PKGBUILD - same extra/system/gcc3/PKGBUILD - this one needs it extra/system/jre/PKGBUILD - closed source, may need it extra/system/gcc34/PKGBUILD - same as for gcc3 extra/system/filelight/PKGBUILD - I am fixing this now extra/modules/fglrx-utils/PKGBUILD - closed source, may need it community/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions/PKGBUILD community/emulators/virtualbox-ose/PKGBUILD community /modules/virtualbox-ose-additions-modules/PKGBUILD community/x11/virtualbox-ose-xorg-drivers/PKGBUILD These have it as a makedep, which I think is weird community/x11/sancho-gtk/PKGBUILD -- dep libstdc++5 community/network/mldonkey/PKGBUILD -- dep libstdc++5 community/network/sopcast/PKGBUILD -- dep libstdc++5 community/network/mysqlcc/PKGBUILD -- dep libstdc++5 community/network/flock/PKGBUILD -- dep libstdc++5 community/gnome/gnome-cups-manager/PKGBUILD -- dep libstdc++5 community/system/acpitool/PKGBUILD -- dep libstdc++5 community/devel/openthreads/PKGBUILD -- dep libstdc++5 community/devel/sqlitebrowser/PKGBUILD -- dep libstdc++5 I don't think any of these needs it, please fix that.
