Bug#703980: /usr/include/time.h: defining TIME_UTC conflicts with boost/thread/xtime.hpp enum

[Pauli <suokkos@gmail.com>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.17-0experimental2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/include/time.h

Dear Maintainer,

I partially accidentaly upgraded to experimental libc 2.17. After
upgrade I noticed that my program depending on boost threads doesn't any
more build. I quickly figured out problem being the new define TIME_UTC in
/usr/include/time.h. Same name for enum entry is used in
/usr/include/boost/thread/xtime.hpp which causes boost header to fail
compile if time.h is included before it.

I suppose this could be considered as boost bug. There exists a fix for
the issue in boost 1.50 like can be seen from linked boost bug. But I
wanted to fail this bug against libc because I hit the bug after libc
upgrade. I don't know which package should prevent installation of
conflicting versions to the system.
