30 I could rant about the stupidity that is boost and/or packages that
31 depend on it for some time but Flameeyes does a far better job at that.
32
33 Anyway: if you cannot patch the package, try to install an older boost
34 version manually and direct your package to its location.
35
36 If you are lucky, your package only needs some template headers from
37 boost, not an actual shared library. In that case you can remove your
38 local boost copy afterwards.

40 BTW: These quoting tabs are obnoxious. Is that how Gmail acts nowadays?
