My libboost package is broken. I don't know how to fix it.
I tried:



sudo apt-get autoremove


and it was the result:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

I have just encountered the same problem and libboost1.54-dev just would not overwrite libboost1.53-dev. My goal was to install libboost1.54-all-dev, but all the other packages depended on libboost1.54-dev and that would not install.



So I went to packages.ubuntu.com and searched for libboost1.54-dev for saucy (link) and downloaded the file.



Once the deb file was in my computer I had to install it while forcing it to overwrite with the following line:



sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite libboost1.54-dev_1.54.0-2ubuntu3_amd64.deb


after that just doing



sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get autoremove


solved the issue.



Hope this helps.
