GWT incompatibility with Karmic Koala

After upgrading to Karmic Koala, the GWT Hosted mode browser stoped working (it couldn't even launch) due to a missing libstdc++5 library. Obviously Ubuntu 9.10 uses version 6 of the library, so a temporary but working solution was to install version 5 too from the Jaunty repositories.  I found the solution here and verified it with past.
