Python/boost problem

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

What variants are you using ? Are they different to the defaults ? Note variants can change over time so even if you did not original use any non default variants, you might now be doing so.

I would suggest forcibly removing the port in question, then reinstall it from scratch using defaults.
