Thanks for your reply. But I am a bit confused at seeing three different
versions of libstdc++ on my system (edgy).

- libstdc++5
- libstdc++6
- libstdc++6.4.1-dev

Well the third entry is a development library version, i.e. with source
code. But there exist a corresponding doc package for all three
versions. 

Is it possible that some software on my system might depend on older
c++ library implementations while some on newer versions? Is this the
reason behind different installed versions?

I'll just install one doc version for now and see if it satisfies my
needs.

Regards,
