14 It will be huge, see
15 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64615

18 Every user _must_ be instructed to run
19 'revdep-rebuild --soname libstdc++.so.5',
20 if a system contains things linking to libstdc++.so.5 and things linking to
21 libstdc++.so.6 I consider it horribly broken.
22
23 Thus having libstdc++-v3 installed apparently solves a problem but in fact
24 does not solve anything, the only solution is to recompile everything c++
25 related on the system.
