If you're lucky, it's just a matter of the package manager not doing
things in the order that gets those symlinks set up properly, meaning
it's a place where uninstalling all the boost libs, then reinstalling
actually has a decent chance of working.

The various packages for different distros often do things differently
from the official ways, though, so it's hard to say.  Check your
/usr/lib folder and see what binaries you actually have.
