i just did a zypper dup on factory which just upgraded from gcc4.5 to gcc 4.6
as you know. halfway during the upgrade i saw lots of scriptlet failures(that
were ignored?, of libreoffice) because the libstdc++.so.6 was not yet installed
but already needed. just recently i did a downgrade from 11.3 to 11.2 that was
hit by a similar problem that completely nuked the system.../offtopic
also I'm always puzzeled as to why zypper uninstalls packages before the
upgrade instead of after it. it seems that zypper needs a bit more
"intelligence" to not put systems at risk this much.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade factory to post gcc 4.5

Actual Results:  
the libstdc++.so.6 is installed very late thus some of the actions packages do
while installing fail.

Expected Results:  
libstdc++.so.6 is installed among the very first packages so that anything
needing it is installed after that
