I believe this is basically impossible to fix. The default boost for Ubuntu 12.04 is 1.46 and will not be raised to 1.48. Since boost-defaults is already version 1.48, it's not possible to upgrade that to a lower version number like 1.46.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost-defaults/1.48.0.2 I recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or 16.04 LTS which doesn't have this issue. ** Changed in: boost-defaults (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to boost-defaults in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991233 Title: libboost-dev 1.48 depends on libboost1.46-dev...
