[Bug 1280232] [NEW] libgcc1 is missing libgcc_s.so.1

[Gavin Panella]

Public bug reported:

An routine `apt-get dist-upgrade` today introduced gcc-4.9. This seems
to omit the crucual libgcc_s.so.1 library, upon which apt-get for one
relies. This caused apt to crash and emit the following:

$ apt-get
apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Using dpkg -i to reinstall gcc-4.8:

cd /var/cache/apt/archives
sudo dpkg -i libgcc1_1%3a4.8.2-15ubuntu3_amd64.deb libgcc1_1%3a4.8.2-15ubuntu3_i386.deb

has restored things to a working state again.

** Affects: gcc-4.8 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
