** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Mongodb in cosmic doesn't build with boost1.67[1].
+ 
+ This bug prevents mongodb from being SRUed[4]. The patch in the upstream
+ PR[2] for boost1.67 was taken for the disco boost1.67 package[3] to fix
+ this for disco.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ The test case if building mongodb in cosmic. Without this update to 
boost1.67, mongodb will fail to build due to a test failure.
+ 
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ This is already fixing a regression from boost1.67. Upstream isn't yet 
convinced that the previous behavior is correct, but abandoned the discussion 
in the PR[2], which remains open.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ Both the boost1.67 PR[2] and the mongodb bug[1] remain open upstream, but we 
have adopted the boost1.67 fix from that PR for disco onwards. If mongodb comes 
up with a change of their own, it will be under their new license[5], which 
might be an issue for us.
+ 
+ [Original Description]
+ 
  This 1.67 change broke a specific mongodb test[1], and is one of the
  remaining mongodb FTBFS issues in Cosmic.
- 
  
  Upstream PR[2] is still open.
  
  Disco has[3] the patch since boost1.67 (1.67.0-9).
