Bug Description

I have a project using Boost.Context, but when I tried to install it from apt-get (this is the first Ubuntu version that should contain it, because it is a new library introduced on recent version of Boost), I found that no files where installed; neither the header files in the -dev package, nor the shared lib in the runtime package (this library, contrary to most Boost libraries, is not header only and requires linking to runtime object ).

My installation is Raring (13.04 beta, I suppose).

This bug was fixed in the package boost1.53 - 1.53.0-4ubuntu1

---------------
boost1.53 (1.53.0-4ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  * Drop mpi build from main package and split it into mpi-source package.
  * Build and install Boost.Context (LP: #1168546)

boost1.53 (1.53.0-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * rules: Add 'context' to list of libraries when Boost.Context is
    supported. Closes: #706220.

  * rules: Disable Boost.Context for additional architectures: alpha,
    hppa, m68k, powerpcspe, ppc64, sh4, sparc64, and x32. Closes: #703549.

So, anyone cares to apply changes from Debian repository and fix the problem? The package in this state is completely useless...
