Sorry, but I don't know how to navigate the site very well and didn't know about "View full publishing history". I also didn't know what "ftbfs" means until I Googled for the term... :-) Now I know about both -- thanks! >>seems to exist in Xenial > Sort of.

I wasn't aware of Ubuntu's policy with new packages after it's been release. I will try building it from source myself with Boost 1.59, then. I'm not as smart as others who have tried, but at least I'm not constrained by the Boost version and can have a local copy of Boost 1.59 in a separate directory from the system's 1.58. Thank you for taking the time to explain things to me!
