So, GCC is a missing dependency of dkms*.deb. That's fine, I assume, I try to download GCC along with the few other dependent dependencies I need, and install it.
But in order to install GCC, it says that I need GCC already installed as a dependency! What the hell?
Surely without GCC, for one, Lubuntu wouldn't even work.
Anyway, is there any way to kind of bootstrap-install(? terminology) GCC please? Or to diagnose why Lubuntu isn't recognizing the presumably existent GCC install?
edit: trying to use sudo dpkg -i gcc*.deb to install, if that helps, extrapolating from commands kindly provided here.
