Original Description
--------------------
Release: 14.04 LTS
Version: 1.54.0.1ubuntu1
Expected: Depend on working version of boost
Happened: Depends on boost 1.54
Here is a bug that was fixed in boost 7 months ago:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8795
Due to that, working with boost/asio seems impossible.
The bug is still present in boost1.54 but fixed in boost1.55.
Therefore I consider it a bug to use version 1.54 as default, as other
libraries' dev-packages depend on boost-default and hence cannot be
installed together with libboost1.55-dev without being rebuild.
Of course, other possibilities would be to ask upstream if version 1.54 could
be patched or add this patch to boost1.54.
But there might be more benefits in boost1.55 and as both versions are not
perfect I see no reason to stick with the older one.
