If that's the case, then it is correct — there is no "dev" component for any GCC release after 4.8.2. Even for GCC-4.8.2, each of those "dev" components is nothing more than an empty meta-package — they serve no purpose, other than to clear out any residual garbage, which may have been inherited from a prior GCC-4.8.1 release, and which may interfere with an upgrade to a future release, (including GCC-4.8.2). IIRC, if you had bothered to read the package description, it tells you this; it also states that you may safely remove this useless meta-package, after it is installed as an upgrade dependency — you should heed this advice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket Status: Reporter: melchiorgaspar Owner: (None) Type: Issues Status: Open Priority: 5 - Medium MileStone: (None) Component: INSTALLER Severity: 5 - Medium Resolution: None --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket details: I am having issues updating to v8.2 for some packages some missing packages... here is the update report for missing or issues.. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ upgrade: gcc-core-4.8.2-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma removing release gcc-core-4.8.2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** gcc-core-4.8.2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta: invalid manifest; no references installing gcc-core-4.8.2-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma upgrade: gcc-c++-4.8.2-2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta removing release gcc-c++-4.8.2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** gcc-c++-4.8.2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta: invalid manifest; no references installing gcc-c++-4.8.2-2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta upgrade: gcc-c++-4.8.1-5-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma mingw-get-gui: *** WARNING *** not removing installed release mingw-get-gui: *** WARNING *** gcc-c++-4.8.1-4-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma is still installed mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** required package file is not available mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** cannot upgrade to gcc-c++-4.8.1-5-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** due to previous download failure ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ plus the zlib libz dev package had a overwrite error.. and wouldn't force an overwrite... had to do it manually... there were other error popups when I used "Mark all upgrades" option... here is a link to screenshot(s) in a zip archive https://www.dropbox.com/s/ 716k9oq82n6nfcc/MinGW_screenshots.zip?dl=0 -- Ticket information of MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows project MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows Project is hosted on OSDN Project URL: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ OSDN: https://osdn.net URL for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ticket/38940 RSS feed for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/ticket/ticket_rss.php?group_id=3917&tid=38940
