7 A system is only horribly broken if it contains binaries or libraries that
8 link to both libstdc++.so.5 *and* libstdc++.so.6. This creates
9 instabilities. The situation you describe is only that of a system in
10 transition.

16 It is also needed for third party apps that were linked against
17 libstdc++.so.5. As long as those applications do not depend on other
18 libraries that are linked against a newer c++ lib things are totally ok.
