Bug#777631: ckon: FTBFS on *i386: trouble finding Boost libraries

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: ckon
Version: 0.7.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

The builds of ckon for i386, hurd-i386, and kfreebsd-i386 (but no
other architectures) all failed:

  checking for boostlib >= 1.50... yes
  checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
  configure: error: Could not find a version of the library!

These architectures share the unusual property that the GNU system
type (i586-...) differs from the multiarch directory component name
(i386-...).  I strongly suspect that ckon's build system insists on
finding the precise path to the library and is specifically looking in
/usr/i586-.../lib, which doesn't exist.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
