This is becoming a FAQ.
You need the newest version of libstdc++, 2.91.59-1.
If you are using the dpkg from unstable, you need to downgrade it to 1.4.0.31.

For convenience, I've tarred up all the needed files:
libstdc++2.9-dev_2.91.59-1_i386.deb
libstdc++2.9_2.91.59-1_i386.deb
dpkg_1.4.0.31.deb
apt_0.1.9.deb

and posted them at http://blevins.simplenet.com/foobar/

Download them and install them with dpkg.  Then put a hold on your dpkg to
keep it from getting upgraded (until a fixed one is on the mirrors).

Hope this helps,
