Erm, what? Obviously this dependency exists because mdds uses boost headers? $ grep boost /usr/include/mdds-1.2/mdds/* grep: /usr/include/mdds-1.2/mdds/multi_type_vector: Is a directory /usr/include/mdds-1.2/mdds/node.hpp:#include <boost/intrusive_ptr.hpp> /usr/include/mdds-1.2/mdds/node.hpp: typedef ::boost::intrusive_ptr<node> node_ptr; /usr/include/mdds-1.2/mdds/point_quad_tree.hpp: typedef ::boost::intrusive_ptr<node> node_ptr; /usr/include/mdds-1.2/mdds/quad_node.hpp:#include <boost/intrusive_ptr.hpp> > I am attaching a patch for the former solution as the latter is not > necessarily correct. Please consider applying it. No. mdds is Architecture all and it doesn't contain arch-dep parts (just contains headers). Marking it as any is wrong. Regards, Rene
