this new upload of boost is only a bug fix of the old one, which was not going to sarge only because of qt-x11-free is still not ready sarge. boost 1.31.0-6 was waiting since >45 days ago. i do not expect much breakage on sarge due to the new boost, there are only two packages depending on it. cheers domenico -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://people.debian.org/~cavok/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50
