[Bug 531973] Re: [UNMETDEPS] libboost-mpi-dev has unmet dependencies in Lucid

[Scott Kitterman]

Because of the way Boost packages are built, there is not a good way to
build the MPI packages in Ubuntu without pulling all of the MPI stack
into Main and no one is willing to do that.  The default boost version
has, AFAIK, never supported MPI for this reason.

If someone can come up with a way to build the MPI and related boost
binaries with the MPI build-dependencies in Universe, I'm willing to
consider it (this would require a separate build as the default boost
that's in main can't use them).
