Hi,

I've done an apt-get update and still see only libboost version 1.31.0:
http://higgs.djpig.de/cgi-ubuntu/search_packages.pl?keywords=libboost&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all

However, I need to have version 1.32.0, which I know debian has. Is there a clean way to use the debian packages for this using apt-get, and have that resolve all dependancies for me? Basically, can I add a debian testing as one of my sources and then use apt-get to get libboost? Or is there another way?

Thanks

I'd like to second that question.

I added a debian source, did apt-get update, installed boost, then removed the source and did apt-get update again.

I've now been told though there's something called "pinning" which does what I want, so you might want to look into that.
