Yes.  However, that upload contained a package named

        libboost-date-time1.34.1
not     libboost-date-time1.34.1-2

c.f. http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/boost/news/20070816T064711Z.html

The mystery to me is: where did you get the packages named with
suffix "-2" on them.  What is the first entry of their changelog
files?

At this point, the easiest way for you to proceed is uninstall
all the boost stuff and reinstall.
