On breezy: RealPlayer 10 from real.com requires libstdc++5 before it will install. This is also true about the packages available from ftp.merim.net

not sure whether to mention it here or not, but the firefox builds from mozilla.org also require this (atleast the trunk does)

This is fixed now. thanks for reporting it. As for the firefox builds from mozilla.org, Ubuntu doesn't support those, and we don't document them.
