Hi,

I just found out the reason for the problem and most probably it is really
the same reason as reported in bug

If I apply the following patch

I can force the depencency of the resulting -dev package to libstdc++6-4.2-dev
instead of libstdc++6-4.1-dev, which meand the dependency from a certain
libstc++6 version is hard coded inside d-shlibs.  I think this is not the
right solution and might be a major blocker to get rid of gcc-4.1 because
we will have several dependencies from it which are just not needed.  So
I wonder whether we might be able to find a more generic method to detect
the right libstdc++6 version we are building against.  Something like
comes to mind - but I admit that I'm very unsure whether this is a really
good solution.

   find /usr/include/c++ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -exec basename \{\} \; | \
        sort | head -n 1

It would work for me if I would use a variable instead of the hardcoded
4.1 - but I would like to hear your opinion first whether there might
be some reason for the hardcoded version before I file a patch for
something that in principle works like it should and just some documentation
is missing.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
