That's very poor and arrogant answer about not support these libraries since many commercial third party applications rely on them whether they are "ancient" or not. By not including the libraries or having some package available for them you're basically telling users to fend for themselves or switch to a distro that has such support.
Ubuntu is not going to garner any commercial support if you refuse to support commercial applications that use those libraries, it's that simple. I expected this type of behavior from someone like Microsoft or Adobe, but not from Ubuntu. -- libstdc++5 removal breaks non-ubuntu applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431091 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
