The version of libstdc++6 in vivid comes from gcc-4.9 source.  There has
been an SRU of gccgo-4.9 to trusty, which requires it to build a
gcc-4.9-base package, whose version number is higher in trusty than in
vivid; and libstdc++6 requires the matching version of gcc-4.9-base.
This prevents upgrading anything that depends on libstdc++6.

This problem is specific to upgrades between trusty and vivid;
libstdc++6 in wily is built from gcc 5 so depends on gcc-5-base instead
of gcc-4.9-base, removing the problem.
