Hi,

The regular system upgrade removes the C++ stdt library which is need
by firefox.

/opt/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I suggest _not_ to remove libraries which are needed by applications in
Linux userland.
How could apt or dpkg know about the requirement of non-debian software ?
I hope that you do not suggest to scan all applications/libraries on the
system (including /opt and /home) before any library removal ?
The correct fix would be to package the software in a Debian package (official
or not if the license does not permit it) so dependencies can be correctly and
automatically managed.

Vincent
PS: note that firefox is already packaged as iceweasel is Debian...
