I have boost library 1.58 installed from default repository and an older version installed from source. Now I wanna remove the boost 1.58.
First I did was to remove the libboost-all-dev package, but there are still four packages left installed, two of which I remove separately, and two I just cannot remove. These two packages are: libboost-system1.58.0 and libboost-filesystem1.58.0. Whenever I do sudo apt-get --purge remove libboost-system1.58.0 there are unmet dependencies errors, which relates to qt, which I have no idea why it has anything to do with.

Please add output ofapt-cache policy libboost-filesystem1.58.0 liboxideqt-qmlpluginto the question. Do you have any boost- and qt-related PPAs added to the system?
– N0rbert
May 24 at 19:19
@N0rbert Thanks for your reply, I attached the output in the end of my question. And, no I do not have boost- and qt-related PPAs. But I do notice I have packages from qt4 and qt5 coexisting.
– Dexter Liu
May 27 at 11:53
What is interesting I got the same result on my every-day real system. Seems to be packaging bug. You can simply ignore it.

May 27 at 12:02
@N0rbert I am trying to remove these qt packages..I just don't know where they come from. They have both qt4 and 5, which is really strange.
– Dexter Liu
May 28 at 2:59
@N0rbert Hi. I just found out that the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and the other libboost package are pre-installed by ubuntu 16.04. So I think I will just leave it there.

My first question is, why is this package libboost-system1.58.0 has anything to do with qt? I looked up in the ubuntu package page, neither these qt packages depend on libboost-system1.58.0 nor does libboost-system1.58.0 depends on these qt packages.
My second question is, is this package libboost-system1.58.0 really relevant? I remember I installed boost with apt-get install libboost-all-dev, but apparently libboost-system1.58.0 is not in the dependecy list to libboost-all-dev. So where does this package come from?
The third question might not be related to this problem, but I looked through these qt packages when I check them, I saw they all have duplicate packages with different versions, for example:
liboxideqtcore0/xenial-updates,xenial-security,now 1.21.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
liboxideqtcore0/xenial 1.13.6-0ubuntu1 amd64
So does this relate to my problem here?
I have added the output for apt-cache policy libboost-filesystem1.58.0 liboxideqt-qmlplugin:

Please add output ofapt-cache policy libboost-filesystem1.58.0 liboxideqt-qmlpluginto the question. Do you have any boost- and qt-related PPAs added to the system?

@N0rbert Thanks for your reply, I attached the output in the end of my question. And, no I do not have boost- and qt-related PPAs. But I do notice I have packages from qt4 and qt5 coexisting.

What is interesting I got the same result on my every-day real system. Seems to be packaging bug. You can simply ignore it.

@N0rbert I am trying to remove these qt packages..I just don't know where they come from. They have both qt4 and 5, which is really strange.

@N0rbert Hi. I just found out that the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and the other libboost package are pre-installed by ubuntu 16.04. So I think I will just leave it there.

TL;DR. The short answer to the question - it is dependencies issue. So you can not remove this package.
Analysis
The longer variant is to evaluate an analysis to determine the reason why libboost-filesystem1.58.0 was installed, which packages depend on it and can we safely remove it.
Why libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and libboost-system1.58.0 were installed
To answer the first (why) question we can use Aptitude with its why command.
On my clean fully updated Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS I get the following output
$ aptitude why libboost-filesystem1.58.0
i libmircommon5 Depends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
the latter libmircommon5 was installed because of LightDM:
$ aptitude why libmircommon5
i lightdm Recommends unity-greeter | lightdm-greeter | lightdm-kde-greeter
The system library -
$ aptitude why libboost-system1.58.0
i libmirclient9 Depends libboost-system1.58.0
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with default Unity the situation is even worse:
$ aptitude why libboost-filesystem1.58.0
i ubuntu-desktop Depends update-notifier
i A update-notifier Depends libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.0.0)
i A libgtk-3-0 Depends libmirclient9 (>= 0.21.0+16.04.20160330)
i A libmirclient9 Depends libmircommon7 (>= 0.26.3+16.04.20170605)
i A libmircommon7 Depends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
Which packages depend on libboost-filesystem1.58.0
To answer the second (which dependencies) we can use rdepend of apt-cache to get the list of reverse dependencies (this means why the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 was installed)
$ apt-cache rdepends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
libboost-filesystem1.58.0

Can I remove the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and use the system as before?
So can it be removed? Let's run the simulation of its removal on system with MATE:
$ apt-get remove --simulate libboost-filesystem1.58.0
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

The above means that we will lose desktop environment and whole X11 system if we remove the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 package.
The simulation for the Unity-based system ends with the errors from your question.

TL;DR. The short answer to the question - it is dependencies issue. So you can not remove this package.
Analysis
The longer variant is to evaluate an analysis to determine the reason why libboost-filesystem1.58.0 was installed, which packages depend on it and can we safely remove it.
Why libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and libboost-system1.58.0 were installed
To answer the first (why) question we can use Aptitude with its why command.
On my clean fully updated Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS I get the following output
$ aptitude why libboost-filesystem1.58.0
i libmircommon5 Depends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
the latter libmircommon5 was installed because of LightDM:
$ aptitude why libmircommon5
i lightdm Recommends unity-greeter | lightdm-greeter | lightdm-kde-greeter
The system library -
$ aptitude why libboost-system1.58.0
i libmirclient9 Depends libboost-system1.58.0
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with default Unity the situation is even worse:
$ aptitude why libboost-filesystem1.58.0
i ubuntu-desktop Depends update-notifier
i A update-notifier Depends libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.0.0)
i A libgtk-3-0 Depends libmirclient9 (>= 0.21.0+16.04.20160330)
i A libmirclient9 Depends libmircommon7 (>= 0.26.3+16.04.20170605)
i A libmircommon7 Depends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
Which packages depend on libboost-filesystem1.58.0
To answer the second (which dependencies) we can use rdepend of apt-cache to get the list of reverse dependencies (this means why the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 was installed)
$ apt-cache rdepends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
libboost-filesystem1.58.0

Can I remove the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and use the system as before?
So can it be removed? Let's run the simulation of its removal on system with MATE:
$ apt-get remove --simulate libboost-filesystem1.58.0
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

Can I remove the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and use the system as before?
So can it be removed? Let's run the simulation of its removal on system with MATE:
$ apt-get remove --simulate libboost-filesystem1.58.0
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

The above means that we will lose desktop environment and whole X11 system if we remove the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 package.
The simulation for the Unity-based system ends with the errors from your question.

TL;DR. The short answer to the question - it is dependencies issue. So you can not remove this package.
Analysis
The longer variant is to evaluate an analysis to determine the reason why libboost-filesystem1.58.0 was installed, which packages depend on it and can we safely remove it.
Why libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and libboost-system1.58.0 were installed
To answer the first (why) question we can use Aptitude with its why command.
On my clean fully updated Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS I get the following output
$ aptitude why libboost-filesystem1.58.0
i libmircommon5 Depends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
the latter libmircommon5 was installed because of LightDM:
$ aptitude why libmircommon5
i lightdm Recommends unity-greeter | lightdm-greeter | lightdm-kde-greeter
The system library -
$ aptitude why libboost-system1.58.0
i libmirclient9 Depends libboost-system1.58.0
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with default Unity the situation is even worse:
$ aptitude why libboost-filesystem1.58.0
i ubuntu-desktop Depends update-notifier
i A update-notifier Depends libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.0.0)
i A libgtk-3-0 Depends libmirclient9 (>= 0.21.0+16.04.20160330)
i A libmirclient9 Depends libmircommon7 (>= 0.26.3+16.04.20170605)
i A libmircommon7 Depends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
Which packages depend on libboost-filesystem1.58.0
To answer the second (which dependencies) we can use rdepend of apt-cache to get the list of reverse dependencies (this means why the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 was installed)
$ apt-cache rdepends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
libboost-filesystem1.58.0

Can I remove the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and use the system as before?
So can it be removed? Let's run the simulation of its removal on system with MATE:
$ apt-get remove --simulate libboost-filesystem1.58.0
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

The above means that we will lose desktop environment and whole X11 system if we remove the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 package.
The simulation for the Unity-based system ends with the errors from your question.

TL;DR. The short answer to the question - it is dependencies issue. So you can not remove this package.
Analysis
The longer variant is to evaluate an analysis to determine the reason why libboost-filesystem1.58.0 was installed, which packages depend on it and can we safely remove it.
Why libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and libboost-system1.58.0 were installed
To answer the first (why) question we can use Aptitude with its why command.
On my clean fully updated Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS I get the following output
$ aptitude why libboost-filesystem1.58.0
i libmircommon5 Depends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
the latter libmircommon5 was installed because of LightDM:
$ aptitude why libmircommon5
i lightdm Recommends unity-greeter | lightdm-greeter | lightdm-kde-greeter
The system library -
$ aptitude why libboost-system1.58.0
i libmirclient9 Depends libboost-system1.58.0
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with default Unity the situation is even worse:
$ aptitude why libboost-filesystem1.58.0
i ubuntu-desktop Depends update-notifier
i A update-notifier Depends libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.0.0)
i A libgtk-3-0 Depends libmirclient9 (>= 0.21.0+16.04.20160330)
i A libmirclient9 Depends libmircommon7 (>= 0.26.3+16.04.20170605)
i A libmircommon7 Depends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
Which packages depend on libboost-filesystem1.58.0
To answer the second (which dependencies) we can use rdepend of apt-cache to get the list of reverse dependencies (this means why the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 was installed)
$ apt-cache rdepends libboost-filesystem1.58.0
libboost-filesystem1.58.0

The above means that we will lose desktop environment and whole X11 system if we remove the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 package.
The simulation for the Unity-based system ends with the errors from your question.

Please add output of
apt-cache policy libboost-filesystem1.58.0 liboxideqt-qmlpluginto the question. Do you have any boost- and qt-related PPAs added to the system?– N0rbert

@N0rbert Thanks for your reply, I attached the output in the end of my question. And, no I do not have boost- and qt-related PPAs. But I do notice I have packages from qt4 and qt5 coexisting.

What is interesting I got the same result on my every-day real system. Seems to be packaging bug. You can simply ignore it.

@N0rbert I am trying to remove these qt packages..I just don't know where they come from. They have both qt4 and 5, which is really strange.

@N0rbert Hi. I just found out that the libboost-filesystem1.58.0 and the other libboost package are pre-installed by ubuntu 16.04. So I think I will just leave it there.
