No, I think that's just because libboost1.53-tools-dev is no longer available in the repository. Oddly enough I can't seem to reproduce the bug any more, though I'm quite sure I had to remove it prior to upgrading to trusty. It might have been a slight change in the order in which dpkg installs new packages. Trying this in a chroot shows that the new libboost1.54-dev is unpacked before libboost1.54-tools-dev. However, if the order was somehow reversed, then dpkg would crash out: (saucy-amd64)root@thinkpwn:~# apt-get install libboost1.54-tools-dev Reading package lists...
