Hi,

apt-get sais that "the gcc package is not available, but is referred to by 
another package. This may mean hat the package is missing, has been 
obsoleted, or is only available from another source. E: Package gcc has no 
installation candidate." I checked the Synaptic Package Manager: The gcc 
package is already installed.
