Hi Chris,
           Thanx for replying so soon. I tried to use apt-get
build-dep boinc-client and it gave me the following dependencies :-

 automake1.9 dh-buildinfo diffstat docbook2x libwxbase2.6-dev
libwxgtk2.6-dev libxml-namespacesupport-perl
  libxml-sax-expat-perl libxml-sax-perl opensp quilt wx2.6-headers


Now while I don't know others , I know  for sure that it needs
wxwidgets 2.8 for sure, so all those 2.6 wouldn't work. The svn client
of boinc is 5.11.0 & therein lies the issue :(

I did see a similar solution proposed in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/105234/comments/59

I truly wish things were that simple ;)

Another thing, let's see I try the above command & it messes up my
stuff, is there anyway to uninstall the build-dep of the above
command?

sudo apt-get build-dep boinc-client

Now is there some sort of undo or uninstall the build-dep of
boinc-client in case it doesn't work out (although I'm sure it won't)
.  I'm not just interested in the boinc-client but also the
boinc-manager which is part of the same process.

Lemme know if you come to know anything more.

Couple of links in case if somebody is interested :-

Cheers!
