Package: libboost-serialization-dev Version: 1.33.1-10 Severity: important
This package is missing the shared libraries, because of which linking fails. I issue the following command: g++ main.cc Someclass.cpp -lboost_serialization and the linker gives an 'undefined reference' error about methods relating to std::rb_tree. The orignal source distribution from boost.org has both static and shared (libboost_serialization-*-d-*.a) libraries. Upon using the shared libraries obtained from boost.org, the program compiles, links and works without any problem! Why are the shared libraries are not in the package? Is it an oversight or is itremoved for some reason? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US Versions of packages libboost-serialization-dev depends on: ii libboost-dev 1.33.1-10 Boost C++ Libraries development fi -- no debconf information
