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 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
