Description Henrich Hartzer 2024-05-27 01:24:28 UTC 
I can't see libboost required by abiword via ldd, but it's required for installation. I removed the libboost libraries from my system and was still able to run abiword.

Is this an unnecessary dependency, or is it required in some way that isn't obvious?

Kind of a heavy requirement if we can avoid it.

Thank you!
