Package: libboost-doc
Version: 1.34.1-14
Severity: important
Hello,
A lot of links inside the documentation of boost are broken.
For instance the first link of
file:///usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/doc/concepts.html which is
supposed to link to the root of the boost doc points to
file:///usr/share/doc/index.htm
or later on the same page, the description of the expression
"v.syntax_type(c)" has a link (in the result field that points to
file:///usr/share/doc/boost/regex/v4/syntax_type.hpp which I believe
points to nothing in any debian package.
On the same page the up arrow link points to
file:///usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/doc/index.html which does not
exist and redirects the browser to
file:///usr/share/doc/doc/html/program_options.html
Some more broken link can be found in
file:///usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/doc/graph_concepts.html where
the links to the examples/undirected.cpp code points to
file:///usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/example/undirected.cpp instead
of pointing to
/usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples/libs/graph/example/undirected.cpp
Those broken links make the whole documentation quite difficult to use.
Thank you for your time.
Erik

This bug has been reported against an ancient version of boost, that was
removed from Debian so long ago that it is no longer part of any
supported release (including oldoldstable-lts).
It is assumed to be fixed (or no longer relevant) in newer releases and
therefore I'm closing this report now. If the problem is still
reproducible in the current version (1.55), feel free to provide more
information, reopen and reassign this bug report.
