Bug#1127610: esys-particle: FTBFS with boost 1.88 / 1.90

[Graham Inggs]

Source: esys-particle
Version: 2.3.5+dfsg2-12
Severity: important

Hi Maintainer

esys-particle will FTBFS when boost-defaults is upgraded.  These
failures were found in Ubuntu, which is ahead of Debian with boost.
I've copied what I hope is the relevant parts of the logs below.

Regards
Graham
