All Mozilla applications in Ubuntu distro depend on libstdc++6. Ubuntu lightning 0.5 depends on it too. But the lightning 0.7 extension, when you download it from Mozilla webpage is compiled to use libstdc++5 (this is partly binary extension, not only XUL). This is neither Ubuntu bug nor Mozillas. Just Ubuntu is "too new" and does not include libstdc++5 by default, and Mozilla is "for old ones too", that's why they distribute their binaries compiled to use old library :)
But for Ubuntu: maybe it's not bad idea to install some basic libraries in two versions by default? Btw: I discovered this when I tried to run SUNBIRD 0.7 from command line. Then I had a clear message, that I lack libstdc++ library :) -- Lightning 0.7 doesn't work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
