Package: libuhd-dev Version: 3.14.1.0-2 Severity: important Hi,
osmo-trx fails to build since a few days/weeks ago in Debian testing and unstable, while it still builds fine in Debian stable. Reported osmo-trx in Debian can be found in [1] and upstream in [2]. Example of build failure can be found in Osmocom's OBS repositories for Debian (different versions available) [3].

Could it be that libboost-system doesn't exist on some system architectures but it was unconditionally dropped with that patch?
