That seems to work for what ceph needs. There used to be several versions of Boost in parallel. So perhaps that is the best way to avoid having to deal with ABI/API breakage... After that it is up to the maintainers of the dependant packages to update their package and start using boost-1.75. The report in bugzilla suggests that that is all what other maintainers ask. Or am I too simple in thinking this? --WjW
