There is an undeclared conflict between libboost1.54-dev=1.54.0-2ubuntu3 (saucy) and libboost1.54-tools-dev (trusty). This doesn't currently cause upgrade/dist-upgrade failures, but this is heavily dependent on undocumented ordering behaviour (libboost1.54-dev/trusty being coincidentally unpacked before libbboost1.54-tools-dev). Please see comment#4 for example output of dpkg failing due to undeclared file conflicts if libboost1.54-tools-dev was unpacked before libboost1.54-dev/trusty. This wouldn't happen if libboost1.54-tools-dev properly declared Replaces on libboost1.54-dev (<< 1.54-4~). -- Kind regards, Loong Jin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281375 Title: libboost1.54-dev and libboost1.53-tools-dev have undeclared file conflicts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost1.54/+bug/1281375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
