FTBFS with gcc-8

Hello Andreas, or anyone else affected,

Accepted boost1.67 into cosmic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost1.67/1.67.0-7ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-cosmic to verification-done-cosmic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-cosmic. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

There is a dep8 failure in mothur/i386, though. I have retried a few times but it won't go away. It's very weird actually:

mothur > cluster(method=furthest, column=HA.unique.dist, name=HA.names, cutoff=0.01, precision=1000)
The precision parameter can only take powers of 10 as a value (e.g. 10,1000,1000, etc.)

As can be seen, precision was given a value of "1000", which is correct. Maybe a math rounding error of some sort is happening? Can't imagine what would be different in the launchpad tester. This is the code:

if(parameter.compare("precision") == 0) {
        double logNum = log10((double)pVal);
        double diff = (double)((int)logNum - logNum);
        if(diff != 0) {
                m->mothurOut("The precision parameter can only take powers of 10 as a value (e.g. 10,1000,1000, etc.)\n");
                return false;
        }
}

I ran the test suite locally on a cosmic/i386 VM, with and without proposed packages installed, and it passes every time. I could try bileto, see if it fails there, and if it does, add some extra debugging information, but that will take a while.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for boost1.67 has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package boost1.67 - 1.67.0-7ubuntu0.1
