Here is the patch against current libboost1.54-dev in Trusty that fix the regression that makes impossible to use the ASIO library.
** Patch added: "debdiff patch to current boost1.54-dev in trusty" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost-defaults/+bug/1319338/+attachment/4135956/+files/boost-1.54_asio.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to boost-defaults in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1319338 Title: Default boost v1.54 has broken asio while available 1.55 is fixed Status in Boost C++ Libraries: Fix Released Status in “boost-defaults” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “boost-defaults” source package in Trusty: Triaged Bug description: Release: 14.04 LTS Version: 1.54.0.1ubuntu1 Expected: Depend on working version of boost Happened: Depends on boost 1.54 Here is a bug that was fixed in boost 7 months ago: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8795 Due to that, working with boost/asio seems impossible. The bug is still present in boost1.54 but fixed in boost1.55. Therefore I consider it a bug to use version 1.54 as default, as other libraries' dev-packages depend on boost-default and hence cannot be installed together with libboost1.55-dev without being rebuild. Of course, other possibilities would be to ask upstream if version 1.54 could be patched or add this patch to boost1.54. But there might be more benefits in boost1.55 and as both versions are not perfect I see no reason to stick with the older one.
