Crypto++ package recompilation for Ubuntu

[Илья Бизяев]

Dear Mr Boszormenyi,
I am writing with regard to a recent GCC update for the Ubuntu 15.04 (not sure if other versions received it).
The crypto++9 package in the default repository was compiled with another ABI (1002), which is now outdated due to major GCC update (GCC 5.1.1, ABI 1008). As far as I understand, you are the original maintainer of this package. Could it be possible for you to recompile it in order to suit the latest GCC?
Yours sincerely,
Ilya Bizyaev.

I think you are supposed to file a bug report through LaunchPad (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcrypto%2B%2B).

I don't think the package maintainers follow the list. Alex (the Fedora maintainer) is an exception, not the rule.

I have found out that the default GCC version for Ubuntu is still 4.9.2, so, its update to 5.1.1 was not correct on my PC. That was probably a mistake of ubuntu-software-updater, or something wrong on Russian Ubuntu server. So, I had to manually set 4.9.2 as the default version.

I am deeply sorry for this, excuse me.
