@karen it is a very bad idea but you could apt --download-only install gcc and then install it using dpkg from /var/cache/apt/archives

@karen hmm, maybe try using aptitude to install instead if possible?sorry i haven't used debian stuff on my own computers for ages precisely because of the package management, i had heard it supposedly got better but this doesn't exactly inspire confidence
