Unstable means that the packages actually get

Well, that's good to know. The word has many bad
connotations in spite of its official definition.
But stable _does_ have libstdc++.so.5; you must not
have it installed.
I don't have it installed so I searched
packages.debian.org with "stable" as one of the
parameters and it turned up nothing (.3 latest one in
there). I should have checked under the other two
parameters before asking about it...kinda stupid
there.
I am glad I asked, though. Without being reassured I
would not use anything under "testing" or "unstable",
ever.
Thanks,
