Description:

(The following describe a problem with libboost_system.so but is not specific just to libboost_system.so, rather to all libraries in boost-libs package)

Since the last update of the boost-libs package, some applications I compiled previous to the update stopped working because they were "hard-linked" against the library with the full version name:

[tmijieux@satsuki ~]$ ./resolver
./resolver: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.65.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Also, there is no symlink "libboost_system.so.1".

The solution adopted by a lot of library is to have
"library.so" symlinked to the last version installed,
"library.so.X" symlinked to the last "major version X" installed
and the soname of "library.so.X.Y.Z" should be "library.so.X"
Therefore, when a minor or patch version bump occurs, all applications that were linked against the "library.so"
used the soname instead, and does not require any intervention at all the used the new version.

Additional info:
* version: 1.65.1, 1.66.0

Even if this problem should maybe be addressed in boost build system, I believe the could be addressed here faster because this is more of a distribution problem.
