Hi Anton, I am not sure I understood what the problem is and why the changes you made on files configure.ac and Makefile.am solve the issue. Could you please explain?
By the way, I don't think I saw a change to file debian/control. Shouldn't that file be changed as well to remove the dependency? In general, I would tend to avoid patches and negotiate with upstream. I will use your reply to start a discussion with the upstream project. Thank you very much in advance for your support and patience. --- Robin On Tue, 5 May 2026 20:28:01 +0200 Anton Gladky <[email protected]> wrote: > Package: src:odr-dabmux > Version: 5.4.1-1 > Severity: serious > Tags: sid forky ftbfs > User: [email protected] > Usertags: boost1.90 > > Dear Maintainer, > > odr-dabmux either build-depends on libboost-system-dev or depends on it. > > The boost system library was removed upstream in 1.89, and is empty since 1.69. > If this library is referenced in the build system, the library can just be > removed from the build system, and the package should continue to build > for any boost version newer than 1.69, including boost1.83 in Debian. > > Boost 1.90 is already in testing, so the package can be cleaned up now. > Issues to check: > > - Remove libboost-system-dev in Depends and Build-Depends. > > - Adjust autopkg tests and test dependencies if needed. > > - Scan the build system if the library is used, and remove it > from the build system. https://www.boost.org/releases/1.89.0/ > has a short paragraph how to do that for cmake. > > > Thanks, > > Anton > > >
