Details

Description:
Inkscape depends on `libboost_filesystem.so.1.80.0` from `boost-libs`, but it is unavailable since `boost` is a build-only dependency of `inkscape`. Converting SVG to PNG results in `inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.80.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`.

Additional info:
* Inkscape 1.2.2-2

Steps to reproduce:
* Install `inkscape`.
* Get any SVG (e.g. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Archlinux-icon-crystal-64.svg ) and try to convert it to PNG: `inkscape --export-filename=file.png file.svg`
This task depends upon

Inkscape does support using C++17 std::filesystem instead of boost::filesystem but only on Windows.
