severity 20033 grave
stop

I just received another bug report (#20978) on Octave not being able to
run. I had already reassigned the first such report (#20033) to libstdc++2.8
which does *not* introduce versioned dependencies on its libs even though it
is incompatible with the previous release. Because of the missing versioned
dependency, dpkg thinks that the older (first-generation) libstdc++2.8
package satisfy the dependencies.

This is not the case --- and as libstdc++2.8_2.9.27 is in hamm, it is likely
that this will break other C++ compiled packages. I strongly feel that this
*must* be fixed in hamm.

For the record, I also upgraded (after building Octave 2.0.11.91 earlier
today) to the newest libstdc++2.8_2.90.27_0.3 which still has an insufficient
shlibs file:
