Depends. Did the compatibility version of libboost_program_options increase to
indicate that the library is no longer compatible to its previous version?

Also, how did it print a backtrace? If the library could not be loaded you should
see an error message printed by the loader on starting the binary, not a backtrace
later on. A backtrace suggests akonadi either tried to load the library using
dlopen(3) at runtime, or the two boost versions are ABI-compatible, but
implementation changed to cause new exceptions.

A third possibility would be that boost was built against a different C++ runtime
library than akonadi.

The backtrace would tell us more.
