scribe expects multi threaded libboost and is currently deprecated. So need to create symlinks as explained in this post

I tried to do some quick search and could find boost multi-threaded libraries for ubuntu 14:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libboost-thread1.54-dev
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libboost-thread1.55-dev
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26716202/linux-ubuntu-14-04-boost-libs-and-thread-compilations

Scribe is essentially a multi-threaded application. We need to be extremely careful not to impact this aspect.
Also this linking is done for archive files, whereas scribed essentially links with shared libraries.

libboost-thread-mt and libboost-thread were essentially same and the "-mt" part was a decorator. And now there is no more "-mt" version available in the latest versions of libboost. http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_40_0.html
From the build package session.

"The default naming of libraries in Unix-like environment now matches system conventions, and does not include various decorations"

Pending items:

  1. Make sure the same changes are working with scribe collector package as well, or whether we need to fix anything else for collector on ubuntu 14.
  2. Finally, edit the changelog for both packages and bump up the major version.
