In the upstream bug, they pointed a workarround and a previous Debian bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=480948 This report was closed by adding the dependencies, but then, they were loosened again (to Recommends) to avoid a circular dependency: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524612 The Boost developers marked the bug as WONTFIX, pointing to a workarround: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3580#comment:1 I don't know what would be best for Debian, but maybe this bug can be closed. It would be nice to have some way to tell the user how to fix this without digging into ancient bug reports, but I really can't think on any place to do that :) -- Leandro Lucarella Integratech S.A. 4571-5252 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
