A system is only horribly broken if it contains binaries or libraries that |

link to both libstdc++.so.5 *and* libstdc++.so.6. This creates |

instabilities. The situation you describe is only that of a system in |

transition. |

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. |
