[Bug 431091] Re: libstdc++5 removal breaks non-ubuntu applications

[Simon Robert Elder]

Another newbie here, just pointing out that Skype (supposedly a version
designed to run on Ubuntu 8.10+ 64-bit needs libstdc++.so.5  What gives?
It really does seem like a simple thing to have left alone or to put it
back in, as it is obviously causing so many users so much grief.
Speaking as a user who has only ever used Windows (sorry for swearing)
until someone persuaded me to try Ubuntu, having to do these sort of
workarounds is putting a bit of a downer on the whole experience. I hope
this can be sorted out as some sort of update in the next version.
