I'm not aware of any problem.

This looks like an Open MPI symbol.  However, Boost is built using
mpi-default-dev which, for Sparc, build-depends on lam4-dev so I
wouldn't have expected that symbol.

My first suspicion is somehow boost is built with one implementation
of MPI and life is built with another.  The build log confirms that
both openmpi and lam are pulled in as dependencies.

I know there is some talk of updating MPI, but I'm not sure what has
happened.  The PTS suggests that nothing has happened yet but 
you might want to check with the appropriate folks.

Let me know what you find out.

Thanks,
