You are correct. That clause was built over time because when the libboost-all-dev package was introduced, I still wanted to preserve the ability to backport to versions of Debian and Ubuntu where that package had not been introduced. I will go ahead and replace the whole thing with libboost-all-dev and call it done. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
