Probably your installed libg++272 is older than the one excpected by
groff. I have a newer version than you, but my groff:
Depends: libc6, libstdc++2.8 (>= 2.90.26-1)
i.e., any installed libstdc++2.8 (the successor of libg++ in some way)
older than 2.90.26-1 will not be accepted.
Compare the output of:
dpkg -l libg++272
and the depends line of your groff (can be found using:
less -p "Package: groff" /var/lib/dpkg/available
).
