Sounds like it could be the same problem I was having. Boost seems broken for me on two different systems since 1.42.0-r1, at least according to python-updater. I tried 1.42.0 and 1.45.0 as well but still had the same problem, so finally just got rid of boost. Afterward python updated to 2.7 in an orderly fashion, and once I switched from xmms2 to mpd no longer needed boost. -- "...she kept arranging and rearranging the rabbit and kind of waving to it. I decided, "this is the person I want to sit next to".
