Source: ncbi-blast+ Version: 2.4.0-1 Severity: serious Justification: fails to build from source
The Boost.Test wrapper that many of ncbi-blast+'s unit tests use turns out to be incompatible with Boost 1.61, which was just uploaded and designated the new default. (The wrapper relies on Boost.Test implementation details, which have generally been under flux lately.) I will prepare a fix upstream when I get a chance. Meanwhile, it should be possible to work around the problem by temporarily replacing the build dependency on libboost-test-dev with libboost-test1.58-dev or even libboost-test1.60-dev. A more drastic approach would be configuring --without-boost altogether, which won't affect the installed executables, just the unit tests.
