But I found out what's going on; [toralf at localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides 'libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.22)(64bit)' chrome-deps-stable-3.13-1.x86_64 [toralf at localhost ~]$ rpm -ql chrome-deps-stable /opt/google/chrome/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /opt/google/chrome/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /opt/google/chrome/lib/link-to-libgnome-keyring.so.0 /opt/google/chrome/modify_wrapper The problem is, even though this package "provides" the lib, it's not available for general use, in that /opt/google/chrome/lib isn't added to the library path. I believe this package was supposed to help you get around some kind of dependency issue with chrome packages from Google a long time ago. Offered as a quick-fix by someone associated with the Fedora project, but probably not included in any of the "usual" repos. I'd quite forgotten that I had this. Didn't think to check this sooner; I guess I assumed that everything would be OK with the dependencies, since the processes did not fail with the runtime linker error you might expect. But I suppose the components are loaded in a somewhat more roundabout way, i.e. the teams executable is not actually linked to the new libstdc++ or anything that uses it. - Toralf > Error: Package: teams-1.4.00.13653-1.x86_64 (teams) > Requires: libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3.9)(64bit) > Error: Package: teams-1.4.00.13653-1.x86_64 (teams) > Requires: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.21)(64bit) > Error: Package: teams-1.4.00.13653-1.x86_64 (teams) > Requires: libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3.8)(64bit) > Error: Package: teams-1.4.00.13653-1.x86_64 (teams) > Requires: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.22)(64bit) > > > So Teams now needs a newer version of libstdc++ than that in RHEL7.
