Details

Description:

This package installs many of the same files as boost-libs does. This is to be expected, but then boost1.69-libs should also conflict, which they don't right now. The related header packages (boost and boost1.69) do conflict properly.

Additional info:
* boost-libs: 1.72.0-1
* boost1.69: 1.69.0-4

Steps to reproduce:

- install boost-libs
- instasll boost1.69-libs
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Don't install boost1.69; it's only there for building mapnik and will be removed soon.

Report was wrong, the actual conflicting packages are boost1.69 and boost-libs.

There's no way around shipping library symlinks in boost1.69 (which conflict with boost-libs).

boost1.69 is only used for building mapnik (in a chroot) and will be going away once the latter switches to current boost.
