[Monotone-devel] Bug#391263: monotone: debian/control requires versioned build depends

[Chad Walstrom]

Package: monotone
Version: 0.30-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Backport attempts for monotone fail not at the 'build-deps' step,
rather during the configuration of the software.  configure states
that boost 1.33.1 is required.  Since the control file has no
versioned dependencies upon the boost libraries, this will fail to
build from source rather than failing to build for lack of dependent
packages.

This bug currently doesn't prevent monotone from being built on most
platforms, it does fail in mixed environments or for backporting
efforts.
