[Bug 1534374] Re: unable to upgrade to 15.04 due to libstdc++6 SRU

[Cristian Bungau]

I used Synaptic to remove libstdc++6 and after removing several 
packages, I was offered the chance to remove libstdc++6 after all. But a 
warning was given that a large number of packages will also be removed, 
warning which I decided to ignore. Big mistake! It started to remove 
everything (15 GB of packages) and I was left with an unstable system. 
Not even a memory disc will be recognised/loaded.

So I installed my Ubuntu15.10 (32 bit to be safe) and lost my data. Now 
this gives other headaches: my Intel video driver is not good enough + 
RAM problems (I have 2 GB - maybe not enough for Ubuntu 15.10) + 
applications crashing due to the Intel driver.

I miss my old Ubuntu 14.04 installation and my old libstdc++6.

So please DO NOT fix this bug, as it saves people major headaches later
on.

Thanks.

Bug description:
  initially had a problem with X when i installed a new Nvidia video
  card.  got that working but only one monitor was functioning (other is
  displayport).  Thought maybe upgrading to a new release might fix the
  problem.  Software update only offered 15.04, so I said ok and tried
  to upgrade.  It crashed with the info attached.  rebooted just in
  case, but still get the same problem
