I have a laptop that I haven't updated in about 3-4 months (before GCC 4.6 hit stable) that I'm trying to get up to up to date. The updates proceeded fine until gcc-4.6.3 - compilation failed at that point with some odd messages about texi files that I don't recall seeing before. I thought this may be due to an issue with some other library being upgraded that GCC depends on, so I ran a revdep-rebuild, which found nothing. Scrolling through my console history I saw mention of this: revdep-rebuild --library '/usr/lib64/libmpc.so.2' && rm '/usr/lib64/libmpc.so.2' So, I ran that and it did indeed find two files that are part of GCC that it wanted to rebuild: * found /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.4/cc1 * found /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.4/cc1plus It tried to rebuild the installed version of GCC, 4.5.4, but that failed the same way, So, it now fails to both reinstall the existing version or upgrade to the latest version of GCC. I'm not really sure what to make of the error message, and not sure how to get out of the revdep-rebuild issue if that's indeed the problem. Hoping someone can provide some guidance here. The build and config logs are attached below.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 464008 ***
Ryan - I did find that texinfo bug report, but in my case I haven't upgraded to 5.x. I'm still running 4.13, and the error message, while somewhat similar, isn't really the same. I posted this as a separate bug report because I didn't think it was the same underlying problem. Are you sure this is a dupe? If so, cool, just want to make sure you weren't thrown off by the similarity.
Yes, it's the same. I haven't upgraded to 5.x yet either. The core of the problem is "@include `gcc-vers.texi': No such file or directory". Sync up and try again and let me know if you still have the same problem.
OK, thanks for the clarification. Will try again when I'm at work tomorrow and confirm.
yep, that did the trick. Thanks, Ryan.
