[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#739908: libboost-iostreams1.54-dev: Missing symbol boost::iostreams::file_descriptor::seek(long long, std::_Ios_Seekdir)

[Roger Leigh]

Package: libboost-iostreams1.54-dev
Version: 1.54.0-4+b1
Severity: important

schroot from unstable links against libboost-iostreams.  Until
recently (probably boost 1.54), it has linked without problems.
However, it's now broken:

000000322fc0df00 T boost::iostreams::file_descriptor::seek(long, std::_Ios_Seekdir)

As you can see, the symbol provided by libboost-iostreams is using
"long" for its first argument, *not* "long long" as expected.

There appears to be some mismatch between what's in the boost iostreams
headers and what's in the shared library.  Could this be some issue
with large file support?  I'd have to check if I'm taking special steps
to enable it--I don't think I am; maybe a regression on my part if so,
but I'll check that in more detail.
