Package: libboost1.83-dev
Version: 1.83.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

after installing libboost-all-dev I can't perform an upgrade anymore.

On 2023-12-27 I installed libboost-all-dev and removed everything from previous 
boost
versions without getting an error or even a warning:

Actually I don't have a single package from boost1.81 or earlier installed.
All installed boost-packages contain 83:

~# dpkg -l *boost* |grep "^ii" |grep -v 83
~#

-------------------------

Trying a dist-upgrade would seemingly fix the libboost issue. At least the "E:
Broken packages" doesn't appear there. However, dry-running
it (apt-get -s dist-upgrade), reveals the process would remove the package
initscripts.

It seems too risky to me to do so. Can I even be sure the systemwould come up?
(Both /usr/sbin/init and /sbin/init are symlinks to /lib/systemd/systemd, so I 
assume I'm
on systemd.)

Since I'm not a weathered sysadmin I'm not sure whether I'd be able to
handle a fully dysfunctional system.

Can you please advise me on how to proceed?

Thanks and cheers
Harald

PS: reportbug created this message but tried to send it with sendmail (not 
configured 
for remote sending)-

So I reassembled the email from /var/spool/exim4

I hope I didn't miss anything important.
