Bug Description

When trying to upgrade a feisty installation to gutsy `apt-get dist-upgrade`
attempts to remove apt/libstdc++-6

The feisty installation has all packages updated and backports/universe/multiverse
repositories enabled.

This behavior was said to be fixed in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.1/+bug/75562
But it apparently still exists. The installed libstdc++ version is `4.1.2-0ubuntu4`, so maybe the
problem which was supposed to be fixed with `4.1.1-21ubuntu2` has been re-introduced ?

After removing `g++-4.1` and `libstdc++6-4.1-dev` (plus dependencies) the issue seemed to be fixed
and the upgrade is now in process.
