Package: libboost1.38-dev
Version: 1.38.0-3
Severity: important
Hello Debian Boost Team,
There is a circular dependency between libboost-math1.37-dev, libboost-serialization1.37-dev, libboost1.37-dev, and libboost-math1.38-dev, libboost-serialization1.38-dev, libboost1.38-dev:
libboost-math1.37-dev :Depends: libboost1.37-dev (= 1.37.0-8)
libboost-serialization1.37-dev :Depends: libboost1.37-dev (= 1.37.0-8)
libboost1.37-dev :Depends: libboost-math1.37-dev (= 1.37.0-8), libboost-serialization1.37-dev (= 1.37.0-8)
libboost-math1.38-dev :Depends: libboost1.38-dev (= 1.38.0-3)
libboost-serialization1.38-dev :Depends: libboost1.38-dev (= 1.38.0-3)
libboost1.38-dev :Depends: libboost-math1.38-dev (= 1.38.0-3), libboost-serialization1.38-dev (= 1.38.0-3)
This is similar to bug #478782, already fixed.
In this instance I do not see the point of separate libboostXX-dev
and libboost-serializationXX-dev and libboost-mathXX-dev packages if
they are always installed together with the same version.
Why not simply include libboost-serializationXX-dev and libboost-mathXX-dev in
libboostXX-dev ?
Cheers,
