Hmm. I assumed all the dependencies must have already been installed,
since gexiv2 must itself be installed for rev-upgrade to be operating on
it. In that case the installed variants from gexiv2 must be getting
passed down to its dependencies? I'm not sure that ought to happen.

In any case, that should mean if you install boost first, the issue will
be circumvented.
