A colleague of mine tried to install POVRAY on a Corel linux system. He
fetched the package from Debian and look what happened:
LOGSCRIPT:
# more /etc/issue
Corel LINUX 1.0 (\l)
# apt-get install povray
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libpvm3 cpp zlib1g-dev zlib1g libc6-dev libc6 binutils ldso
The following packages will be REMOVED:
timezones g++ libreadlineg2-dev libncurses4-dbg libstdc++2.9-dev
libncurses4-dev gcc egcc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libpvm3 povray
7 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 8 to remove and 282 not
upgraded.
Need to get 5376kB of archives. After unpacking 8014kB will be
freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
----
Any idea why timezones, g++, libreadlineg2-dev, libncurses4-dbg,
libstdc++2.9-dev, libncurses4-dev, gcc and egcchave have been removed?
:-)

I think it's possible that one of the necessary extra packages is messed
up (libpvm3, cpp, zlib1g-dev, zlib1g, libc6-dev, libc6, binutils, or
ldso) and not POV-Ray. Try apt-getting them individually and see if one
of them wants to nuke gcc etc. Once it's narrowed down which package is
doing this, get in touch with the person in charge of that package for
the Debian project.
