[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#477520: libboost-python1.34.1: libboost_python-gcc41 compatibility symlinks missing

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Package: libboost-python1.34.1
Version: 1.34.1-11
Severity: important

libboost-python1.34.1 used to provide python bindings linked against
GCC 4.1 (libboost_python-gcc41-1_34_1.so.1.34.1) and therefore packages
will have legitimately linked against this library and being given a
Depends by shlibdeps of libboost-python1.34.1. In a recent version of
the boost package, these libraries have been removed rendering such
packages unusable (example: python-mapnik 0.4.0-2)
