Indeed. I remember talking to our boost maintainer when the boost 1.81 
upgrade was imminent 1.5 years ago. You are late to the party ;)

I can't.

If that is the same one, that is fixed (in Debian, and probably other 
distros a similar way) by

boost1.81 (1.81.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * [b340cb8] Fix autopkgtests. Use 1.81 version. (Closes: #1028390)
   * [4835103] Avoid boost::phoenix::placeholders violations.
   * [f09f5a5] Trim trailing whitespace.
   * [f3a250a] Update standards version to 4.6.2, no changes needed.

and that's why libetonyek in Debian has

libetonyek (0.1.10-5) unstable; urgency=medium

   * add Build-Conflicts: libboost1.81-dev (= 1.81.0-1~exp1),
     libboost1.81-dev (= 1.81.0-1)

   * upload to unstable

In a quick check that patch is still applied in boost1.83. See

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/boost/-/blob/master/debian/patches/116.patch


Since then (2023...) I had no problem building LibreOffice with 
boost1.81 and boost1.83, neither has libetonyek (which our LibreOffice 
uses from the system).
