If you look at the build-depends of qbittorrent you will see it build-depend upon - $ apt-rdepends --build-depends qbittorrent | less $ apt-rdepends --build-depends qbittorrent | less qbittorrent Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 10) Build-Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1) Build-Depends: libboost-dev Build-Depends: libqt5svg5-dev Build-Depends: libtorrent-rasterbar-dev (>= 1.1.2) Build-Depends: qtbase5-dev (>= 5.2.0) Build-Depends: qttools5-dev-tools Build-Depends: zlib1g-dev now from what little I know qbittorrent relies quite a bit on libtorrent-rasterbar-dev to either expose new functionality or sometimes even bug-fixes. And at times libtorrent-rasterbar-dev uses new versions of libboost. If that's the case the maintainer may have to ask for a transition slot as libboost touches many more packages than libtorrent-rasterbar-dev does making it difficult. Although there may be slightly good news as a newer boost may be in offing, see #892394 for the discussion. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
