Comment (by Guymer):

 I just ran the below commands:

 }}}

 The variants of both "boost171" and "boost176" are the same, yet
 "boost171" fails and "boost176" has been successful. I don't understand.
 As I see it, if "source-highlight" was to use "boost176" right now then I
 could install it successfully as I already have "boost176" installed
 successfully from yesterday so nothing extra would need to be built.

 I apologise for my ignorance.
