You can check that your libstdc++ is still installed with:

# ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++*
libstdc++.so.2.7.2    libstdc++.so.2.8      libstdc++.so.2.9
libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8  libstdc++.so.2.8.0    libstdc++.so.2.9.0

And temporarily, you can symlink it:

# cd /usr/lib ; ln -s libstdc++.so.2.9 libstdc++.so.5

Then recompile python remove the symlink and run revdep-rebuild.

It often worked for me, so I hope it will work for you too.
