So you have hit the ongoing libstdc++v5 transition (and its followup
llvm3.5 transition), beignet will get rebuilt against libllvm3.5v5 at
some point, but there are hundreds of packages affected by the switch to
gcc-5, making unstable really deserve its name "unstable" until all this
is sorted out again.
