The libstdc++2.10 library is now libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2. All packages
compiled against latest libstdc++2.10-dev will depend on the -glibc2.2
package. The naming was chosen to avoid binary incompatibilities in
stdc++ when compiled against different glibc's (i.e. 2.1.3 in potato and
2.2.x in woody/sid).
I'm pretty sure the gnomeui library is obsoleted by some other library.
