I've have searched the whole of the Debian 2.2 CD that I have and there is definitely no libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1_2.91.66-4.deb package anywhere. Is it possible I have a different Potato version? I have searched the Debian site for the above package and I have found it in the /oldlibs area.

The good thing about Debian's package management (when using packages that
come from Debian atleast) is that if it let's you install the package,
then generally that means everything is "OK" :) You did exactly what you
needed to do, and it should work perfectly.
Welcome to one of many learning experiences :)
