Comment 36 for bug 431091

What will it take to get some sort of "official" support for just the support libraries. I could care less about the compiler stuff. I've seen other compatibility libraries in the repositories before. To me an example would be libdb1-compat. Even if all that happens is having comment #17 become the official "work-around" until something better comes along, that would be nice.

IMHO, the whole point of this bug report is to see what can be done to get support of 3rd party apps that rely on libstdc++5 in Ubuntu Karmic and beyond; even if this libstdc++5 would be considered depricated and have all 3rd party venders move onto newer and better things.

If this bug discussion needs to be moved elsewhere, please let us know where we need to move it to.
