[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#443160: libboost-dev: Missing dependency on libboost-serialization-dev?

[Miles Bader]

Package: libboost-dev
Version: 1.34.1-2
Severity: normal


I have libboost-dev installed but not all the various sub-packages; in
particular, I do not have libboost-serialization-dev installed.

The header file <boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp> exists, but trying
to compile the following one-line file fails:

   #include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp>

with these errors:

   make LANG=C x.o
   g++    -c -o x.o x.cc
   In file included from /usr/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_sequence_adapter.hpp:20,
		    from /usr/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp:20,
		    from x.cc:1:
   /usr/include/boost/ptr_container/detail/reversible_ptr_container.hpp:38:48: error: boost/serialization/split_member.hpp: No such file or directory
   In file included from /usr/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_sequence_adapter.hpp:20,
		    from /usr/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp:20,
		    from x.cc:1:
   /usr/include/boost/ptr_container/detail/reversible_ptr_container.hpp:610: error: expected ';' before '}' token
   /usr/include/boost/ptr_container/detail/reversible_ptr_container.hpp:610: error: expected `;' before '}' token
   In file included from x.cc:1:

   /usr/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp:70: error: expected `;' before '}' token
   make: *** [x.o] エラー 1


It appears that ptr_vector.hpp includes
<boost/serialization/split_member.hpp>, but that file does not exist unless
the debian package libboost-serialization-dev is installed (after installing
that package, the above compilation succeeds).

Thanks,
