[Debichem-devel] Bug#954351: FTBFS with Boost 1.71

[Giovanni Mascellani]

Package: rdkit
Version: 201909.1-2
Severity: wishlist
User: team+boost at tracker.debian.org
Usertags: boost1.71

Dear Maintainer,

your package fails to build with boost1.71. You can find a build log
attached. If you want to attempt the build yourself, an updated version
of boost-defaults which brings in boost1.71 dependencies can be found
adding this line to your sources.list file:

  deb https://people.debian.org/~gio/reprepro gio main

This bug has severity whishlist for the moment, but it will raised to RC
as soon as version 1.71 of Boost is promoted to default.

More specifically, your package fails building because some problem in
the CMake scripts. I don't really understand the problem, because the
log clearly states that Boost libraries are found, but then for some
reason they cannot be used. I am not really expert of CMake, so I am not
sure of how to debug this.

From the log:

Thanks and all the best, Giovanni.
