Bug#751691: freeorion: FTBFS - build depends on libboost-all-dev and libogre-1.9-dev

[Michael Tautschnig]

Package: freeorion
Version: 0.4.3+svn7114-2
Severity: serious
Usertags: goto-cc

During a rebuild of all Debian packages in a clean sid chroot (using cowbuilder
and pbuilder) the build failed with the following error.

dpkg-dev is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libogre-1.9-dev : Depends: libboost1.54-dev but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: libboost-thread1.54-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Could not satisfy build-dependency.

The problem here is that libboost-all-dev is Boost version 1.55.0.2 now, hence
libogre-1.9-dev's firm dependency on version 1.54 cannot be satisfied. It may be
the case that libogre-1.9-dev should be ported to Boost version 1.55.0.2, which
I cannot judge.

Best,
Michael
