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

[trshemanske]

What has long confused me in this often vitriolic discussion is why,
when Ubuntu imports from Debian on a regular basis, we see a divergence
from Debian with no reasons offered

As of today, ia32-libs in debian sid lists the library in contention as
a part of the package

http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/ia32-libs/filelist

/usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5
/usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5.0.7

So removal represents a clear departure from Debian, and one which will
apparently have to renewed at each new Ubuntu release.  As was clearly
indicated in many previous messages, nobody filing these reports cares
at all about old gcc issues, simply compatibility with linux software
compiled against admittedly aged libraries.
