Package: boost1.33 (1.33.1-1008)
To install the compiled package...
The following other packages (and their dependencies) must be installed:
boost1.33-shlibs (= 1.33.1-1008)
The following other packages must not be installed:
boost1.31
boost1.32
boost1.32-py23
boost1.32-py24
boost1.32.python
To compile this package from source...
The following packages are also compiled at the same time:
boost1.33-shlibs (1.33.1-1008)
The following other packages (and their dependencies) must be installed:
boost-jam
python
...
So there is a BuildDependency on python, and our python requires x11.
Thus there is an indirect BuildDepend on x11, and it's quite deliberate.
Have you been building boost from source on a platform where X11 is more
or less assumed always to be available?
As for boost-1.34: ask the boost-1.33 maintainer about that, since he
would be the one to make such an update.
