Hi Kirk,

On a first-time install of weasyprint, using 'apt install weasyprint', I 
receive the following error related to libboost:

  Unpacking libboost1.74-dev:arm64 (1.74.0+ds1-21) ...
  dpkg-deb: error: <decompress> subprocess was killed by signal (Killed)
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libboost1.74-dev_1.74.0+ds1-21_arm64.deb (--unpack):
    cannot copy extracted data for 
'./usr/include/boost/compute/algorithm/detail/merge_sort_on_cpu.hpp' to 
'/usr/include/boost/compute/algorithm/detail/merge_sort_on_cpu.hpp.dpkg-new': 
unexpected end of file or stream
  Errors were encountered while processing:
    /var/cache/apt/archives/libboost1.74-dev_1.74.0+ds1-21_arm64.deb

I was not able to reproduce this on an up to date stable, tagging moreinfo accordingly.

  dpkg-deb: error: <decompress> subprocess was killed by signal (Killed)

Especially this makes me wonder if this was a problem on your system specifically. Maybe your system ran out of memory or is flaky in some other way?

Also this is likely not a bug in the weasyprint package (nor in libboost1.74-dev) so I propose to downgrade the bug in a few days, unless you disagree.

Re-running 'apt install weasyprint' just says libboost is not going to be 
installed, and running
'apt --fix-broken install'  just gets the same error exit again.

Not sure how to recover your system can you try

apt remove libboost1.74-dev

And send the output?

Cheers Jochen
