I have Ubuntu Server and it did not have Synaptic but I did decide to
install it. After installing it I tried various methods for reinstalling
gcc and g++ but neither worked. What they did was reinstall the links
but failed to restore the binaries. In the end I had to find the correct
deb packages with the binaries and reinstall those.
