Hi, I have the same problem with libboost1.37-dbg that I have with 1.38:

 sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up libboost1.37-dbg (1.37.0-8) ...
+ update=/usr/share/python/runtime.d/libboost1.37-dbg.rtupdate
+ which pyversions
++ pyversions -d
+ /usr/share/python/runtime.d/libboost1.37-dbg.rtupdate rtupdate none python2.5
+ debug=
+ case "$0" in
+ action=rtupdate
+ shift
+ case "$action" in
+ rtupdate python2.5
+ case "$1" in
+ py=py25
+ update_linklibs py25 a
+ py=py25
+ suf=a
+ cd /usr/lib
