Bug#1127082: opm-common ftbfs with boost 1.90

[Markus Blatt]

HI,

thanks a lot for the report and also the patch.

Indeed, I think that the error for the patched version

"CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/boost_unit_test_framework-1.90.0/boost_unit_test_framework-config.cmake:102 (find_package):

   Could not find a package configuration file provided by "boost_exception"
   (requested version 1.90.0) with any of the following names:

     boost_exceptionConfig.cmake
     boost_exception-config.cmake
"

might indicate that dependencies are broken in Ubuntu/Debian.

I can trigger the same error with this simple CMakeLists.txt in an experimental chroot with libboost-test1.90-dev installed

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.32)
project(test CXX)
find_package(Boost COMPONENTS unit_test_framework)

I guess the libboost*-dev packages should have depends on packages list in _BOOST_CAPITAL_MODULE_NAME_DEPS in the cmake package
configuration files.

For the unit tests that is setup in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/boost_unit_test_framework-1.90.0/libboost_unit_test_framework-variant-static.cmake
and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/boost_unit_test_framework-1.90.0/libboost_unit_test_framework-variant-shared.cmake
as

list(APPEND _BOOST_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_DEPS exception headers)

The problem is that we cannot work around this in a clean way in opm-common because at least in Debian experimental there is
no libboost-exception-dev package but just libboost-exception1.90-dev or earlier versions. I don't think we should use the versioned
libs in the dependencies.

So hopefully boost can be fixed in this regard.

Best,

Markus
