Source: ncbi-blast+
Version: 2.4.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source
The Boost.Test wrapper that many of ncbi-blast+'s unit tests use turns
out to be incompatible with Boost 1.61, which was just uploaded and
designated the new default. (The wrapper relies on Boost.Test
implementation details, which have generally been under flux lately.)
I will prepare a fix upstream when I get a chance. Meanwhile, it
should be possible to work around the problem by temporarily replacing
the build dependency on libboost-test-dev with libboost-test1.58-dev
or even libboost-test1.60-dev. A more drastic approach would be
configuring --without-boost altogether, which won't affect the
installed executables, just the unit tests.
