The error messages tell you what's wrong:

You have a library problem.

So did everyone else who upgraded in the last couple of days; that library
has a bug.

There are several easy ways to track that down:

1. Search the archives of this mailing list. This bug has been discussed
many times in the last couple of days.
2. Search the package list for "libstdc++" in unstable:

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libstdc%2B%2B&searchon=names&subword=1&version=unstable&release=all

There are several "libstdc++" packages, but the error message refers to
"libstdc++.so.5" so click on "libstdc++5", which brings you here:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/libstdc++5.html

Near the bottom of the page is the link to the bug list for this package,
which leads you here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libstdc%2B%2B5

And there, lo and behold, are a slew of bug reports by others with this
problem.

(I believe it's already been fixed with a new upload to unstable.)
