[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1319338] Re: Default boost v1.54 has broken asio while available 1.55 is fixed
Comment #15 in the upstream bug report links to a couple of commits which should fix the issue with asio. For Stable Release Updates we prefer to make minimal changes to packages (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates), so it would be best if those changes were added to 1.54. -- 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.

Thanks for the patch, I'll take care of sponsoring this to the trusty- proposed queue. I've modified the debian/changelog slightly though. The syntax to reference a bug report in Launchpad in a debian/changelog file so that the Launchpad Bug Janitor and scripts can modify the Launchpad bug is to use the format LP: #1319338. I also copied the description from the patch to the changelog as that seemed more informative. The changelog entry now looks like this: boost1.54 (1.54.0-4ubuntu4) trusty; urgency=medium * Fix a regression where, on some platforms, errors from async_connect are not correctly propagated through to the completion handler.
