[Bug 1800264] Re: python3-libtorrent linking libboost_python27.so instead of libboost_python36.so

[Cas]

This won't be fixed in upstream boost package so instead I have made an
upstream request to fix the package that should propagate to Disco
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libtorrent-rasterbar/merge_requests/1

In the meantime for any users needing a fixed version, there is a daily
build PPA:
https://code.launchpad.net/~libtorrent.org/+archive/ubuntu/rc-1.1-daily
