Package: libboost-dev Version: 1.58.0.1 Severity: minor libboost-dev (and libboost-*-dev packages) explicitly depend on g++/g++-5. Is this explicity (double) dependency necessary?
The individual packages already depend on libstdc++-5-dev, which is the correct thing to do. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (800, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libboost-dev depends on: ii g++ 4:6-20160101-2 ii g++-5 5.3.1-8 ii libboost1.58-dev 1.58.0+dfsg-5+b1 ii libstdc++-5-dev 5.3.1-8 libboost-dev recommends no packages.
