That makes perfect sense. But I wonder if we can't reflect the fact that the other libboost packages are not meant for normal production use clearer to users; maybe by adding something to their names (since they already contain the version number). I think it's perfectly understandable that a user, much more so a developer, installs the highest version number that is available, and that's probably how the reporter got those packages installed. As for myself, I just added the "C++ development" pattern when I installed and didn't look twice, so I got the default ("system") boost packages. But had I looked in more detail, I might also have been tempted to install the higher numbers, and I might also have run into similar trouble. IIRC we have some "notice pop-up" mechanism to display messages when a user selects a package for installation, but I am not sure if they are only displayed when a user uses YaST, or also if using a zypper command line. But a package name like "libboost_xy_1_75_experimental" or "_compat" or whatever for sure would have made me think twice. Maybe that would be a way to avoid this situation. Just my two cents. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
