Bug#361221: apt: traceback with "ImportError: libstdc++.so.6: cannot handle TLS data"

[Tim Van Holder <tim.vanholder@anubex.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43.3
Severity: normal


After a dist-upgrade this morning, apt-get starts to emit the following traceback
right after it finishes downloading packages:

...
Fetched 2205kB in 4s (468kB/s)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 30, in ?
    import apt_pkg
ImportError: libstdc++.so.6: cannot handle TLS data
...

I'm unsure whether this is a dependency problem for apt (maybe it should
link to an older libstdc++6?), or a libstdc++ regression (built with less
features than the gcc4.0 version?).  But since (so far) I only see this
problem with apt, I'm filing it here.
