[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#548503: boost/graph/breadth_first_search.hpp requires headers in libboost-python1.40-dev

[Andreas Metzler]

Package: libboost-graph-dev
Version: 1.40.0.1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I hope this is the right package to report this against. Otherwise
please re-assign. (I guess this should be severity serious, too,
please bump if you agree.)

After switching boost-defaults to point to 1.40 hugin FTBFS. There
are two reasons for this:

* In previous boost releases boost/thread/thread.hpp already #included
boost/function.hpp. Hugin relied on that. Easily fixed.

* The dependency/inclusion circle has gotten a lot wider:

--------------------------------------

That means that #include <boost/graph/breadth_first_search.hpp> (part
of libboost-graph1.40-dev) indirectly #includes 
boost/python/detail/referent_storage.hpp (part of
libboost-python1.40-dev) 

I *think* the latter is rather strange and is probably an upstream
bug. If it is not OTOH libboost-graph1.40-dev package dependencies are
incorrect and libboost-graph1.40-dev would need to depend on
libboost-python1.40-dev.
