Bug Description
ubuntu-desktop package could depend on libstdc++5 package, because lots of thirdy party software requires this library.
For example for some video from internet (e.g. www.bbc.co.uk ) I need to install real-player. I go to www.real.com and press on link "Real Player for Linux" "Free download" and also on "Installation Instructions".
Then I get window with real player Installation Instructions:
- Ensure that the .bin file you downloaded is executable. You can make the .bin file executable by running the "chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOL
- Run the .bin file by typing "./RealPlayer10
- When you launch the player for the first time, a set-up assistant will take you through configuring your player.
- Enjoy your RealPlayer10 for Linux!
So, I've did chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOL
ubuntu@
./RealPlayer10G
Other example would be ATI video drivers (fglrx) - they also needs libstdc++5 library.

Sounds all too familiar. And even though it is unreasonable to include any lib an app might request, it's also unreasonable to expect an end user to know what to do in such a case?
