If you are using sid and have recently done a dist-upgrade you may have 
noticed that it works ok for a while and then suddenly errors pop up, 
errors that look something like this: update-menus: relocation error: 
update-menus: symbol 
 ZNSt9basic iosIcSt11char traitsIcEE4initEPSt15basic streambufIcS1 E, 
version GLIBCPP 3.2 not defined in file libstdc++.so.5 with link time 
reference 
(Look familliar?) 
I don't know what's wrong with this version (seems to coincide with the 
introduction of gcc-3.3) but I DO know how to get your system working 
again, simply downgrade the package libstdc++5 to testing. 
apt-get install libstdc++5/testing 
 
Hope this helps

I have the same problem and tried to above but I get: 
 
Reading Package Lists... Done 
Building Dependency Tree... Done 
E: Release 'testing' for 'libstdc++5' was not found 
debian:/home/chris# 
 
So maybe I have to change apt.sources as well (?) but am afraid of what else that could 
potentially change... 
 
thanks, 
 
Chris
