As a temporary workaround you can downgrade boost and boost-libs packages to 1.86, compile Libtorrent, upgrade boost and boost-libs back to 1.87 and then ln -s /usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.87.0 /usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.86.0 (or whatever the paths are on your system).

And what would be a permanent fix to this?

This issue seems to be the reason libtorrent-rasterbar port is broken on FreeBSD.

This issue seems to be the reason libtorrent-rasterbar port is broken on FreeBSD.

The changes required to fix libtorrent-rasterbar appear to be extensive, and libtorrent-rasterbar2 seems to work fine now. Given the above it's very unlikely that anyone would ever fix it.

it's been a while, but iirc, it's mostly a bunch of classes and functions that were renamed in boost.asio.

@arvidn take a look at #8027

According to a comment in the Makefile i FreeBSD ports, libtorrent-rasterbar2 has memory issues, which is the reason they haven't switched from libtorrent-rasterbar to libtorrent-rasterbar2 yet.

Is it not the case that there are memory issues in libtorrent-rasterbar2?
