Revision history [back]

I think your system is in a weird state because you have the natty versions of the ROS packages installed on an oneiric system.

I would start with 'apt-get dist-upgrade'

If that doesn't work, install libboost1.46-all-dev, allow it to remove ROS, and then you should be able to reinstall ROS and keep the newer version of boost.
