| Hi,
| 
| I intend to upgrade r-cran-openmx and when trying to build I get:
| 
|    Error: package 'BH' 1.66.0-1 was found, but >= 1.69.0.1 is required by '.'
| 
| I guess this is since the DESCRIPTION file does not properly declares

r-cran-bh in Debian is/was still somewhat of a 'hack' as it pretends to be a
package it is not, but it appears to have done its job.  So updating it is fine.
 
| I attached a patch which also includes a versioned Depends on libboost-dev.

Thanks.

In the beginning I updated BH when our libboost(-dev) updated, but Debian's
feel behind. I can't automagically keep these in sync as we'd be lying, but
in this case it is the right move as a few Boost libraries did change (and
even require C++14).  So will apply this.

Dirk
