Please report such issues to the Debian Bug Tracking System (http://bugs.debian.org).

done that: i was just endeavouring to catch the attention of the relevant people.

I'm not able to reproduce this problem when I "apt-get install -t unstable python2.2 gcc-3.3 g++-3.3".

try adding unstable to your /etc/apt/source.list and then doing an apt-get upgrade.

On my system, python2.2 is linked with /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5, which is provided by the package libstdc++5, that has been built from the gcc-3.3 source indeed. And still python2.2 just works fine.

yes but python2.2 (python2.2-5 or 6) is built and linked with gcc 3.2 not gcc 3.3.

by upgrading the libstdc++.so.5 to one that was built with gcc-3.3 you get the problem that occurs on my system.

The line with /usr/lib/libgcc1s.so.1 looks dubious. This ought to be /lib/libgccs.so.1, which is provided by the libgcc1 package, which is also derived from the gcc-3.3 source.

Can you please make sure that this is really the Debian python2.2 binary, and that you're indeed using /usr/lib/libgcc1s.so.1 ?

yes it is the debian python2.2 binary.

and /usr/lib/libgcc1_s.so.1.

i appear not to have /lib in my /etc/ld.so.conf i do not know why not.

... it may be because i have upgraded from debian potato on cds repeatedly over a period of at least two years?

Then, please issue an bug report including information such as the header lines from starting python2.2, the revision numbers of the affected packages (at least python2.2, g++-3.3, libstdc++5 and libgcc1).

i have to work on this as a production system.

i spent several frantic hours coming up with a procedure to recover my system back to a useable state.

unfortunately i cannot risk the time it might take up on having a broken system.

if all programs built with gcc-3.2 (including python2.2 and update-menus and groff and minicom and a whole boat-load of others) are replaced with programs built with gcc-3.3 then the problem i experienced goes away.

expecting email to be received and understood is a bit like picking up the telephone and immediately dialing without checking for a dial-tone; speaking immediately without listening for either an answer or ring-tone; hanging up immediately and then expecting someone to call you (and to be able to call you).

every day, people send out email expecting it to be received without being tampered with, read by other people, delayed or simply - without prejudice but lots of incompetence - destroyed.

please therefore treat email more like you would a CB radio to communicate across the world (via relaying stations): ask and expect people to confirm receipt; send nothing that you don't mind everyone in the world knowing about...
