Hmmm... I don't `see' all those versions.  After an `aptitude update':

The 3.3 is 3.3.5-13, and the 3.4 is 3.4.3-13.

My /etc/apt/sources.list is:

Why am I seeing older versions than you?

I just installed gcc-3.4, but gcc --version still says 3.3.5.  What
have I done (probably without knowing it) to `insist on using gcc
3.3.*', and how can I reverse that? (I have no desire to use old
compiler versions. :-)
