I guess that answers the question I had in the other thread. That's a 
mistake sure to lead to chaos. The default system layout build of BBv1 
sets the soname to libboost_date_time.so.1.33.0 and my hope was that 
this would be used by the RPMs. But go figure that they would override 
that, it's the GNU way to impose their view on others :-(

Yes, at minimum the soname should have "1.33" in it and the RPMs should 
be fixed. My preference is to have the full "1.33.0" in it, but I'm 
paranoid when it comes to version compatibility.
