Subject: libboost-thread-dev: the usr/lib/libboost_thread.so doesn't exist anymore and breaks link with -lboost_thread

Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 18:21:44 +1000

Package: libboost-thread-dev
Version: 1.31.0-1
Severity: normal


The new release of the libboost-thread-dev doesn't create the link
usr/lib/libboost_thread.so and only provide a link
libboost_thread-gcc-mt-1_31.so which break link with older boost
versions.

Since there isn't any .pc file or binary to provide the LIBS and CFLAGS
there should be some backward compatibility in the upstream or the
debian package.
