I think that you didn't even try to reproduce the issue: -8<- $ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libboost1.42-dev_1.42.0-3_amd64.deb [sudo] password for jackyf: Selecting previously deselected package libboost1.42-dev. dpkg: regarding .../libboost1.42-dev_1.42.0-3_amd64.deb containing libboost1.42-dev: libboost1.42-dev conflicts with bcp libboost1.40-dev provides bcp and is present and installed. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libboost1.42-dev_1.42.0-3_amd64.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing libboost1.42-dev Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libboost1.42-dev_1.42.0-3_amd64.deb -8<- > What's special in your setup?

No, it seems it's rather again a story of personal insults against cupt or/and against me, instead of discussing technical matters. -- Eugene V.
