What makes you believe that those files are "unnecesseray" ?

In fact, they are a backup to ensure that the applications built against previous Boost package still runs.

I.e. LibreOffice, Chromium and tons of others.

Because, the developers who ships binary packages needs some time to align to a new Boost package on current.

Hello and thanks for replying.
I thought that they are unnecessary because of the fact that 1.77 is installed but
now i can understand.
Thanks for the info!
