According to the package versions listed below, libstdc++6 is the most 
up to date version from GCC, so xcas should instead depend on 
libstdc++.so.6. A new install of this package 
(http://deb.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 xcas amd64 
1.9.0.93+dfsg2-3) in Debian stable trixie/sid works as expected for me, 
so I am not sure what the issue was with your xcas system configuration.
