Sorry for my english (I am thats why its bad) I stated above "if you're
using 11.0 and down it's compat-libstdc++" which means:- opensuse equal
to and less than 11.0 = compat-libstdc++".
opensuse equal to and greater than 11.1 = libstdc++33. In fact there is
a whole range of libstdc++ compatibility libraries. In 11.2 alpha I have
libstdc++33, libstdc++41, libstdc++43 and libstdc++44 available if
needed. I think the powers that be are trying to limit the size of the
compat libs that need to be installed so one package has split into many.
