Fix conda action boost dependency

[johnwason]

Attempt to fix the failing conda tests caused by boost dependency error.

@traversaro I am getting another dependency problem from conda: https://github.com/tesseract-robotics/tesseract/actions/runs/12057112091/job/33621028026

Interesting, it seems something is still pulling boost-cpp . I will check this tomorrow morning (in Europe). If I do not feel free to ping me.

I may be missing something, but those job seem to refer to a commit where boost-cpp is still used? See

tesseract/.github/workflows/conda/recipe/meta.yaml

Line 24 in f79d8ce

- boost-cpp

.

I grabbed the wrong log link. This is for the branch that uses libboost-devel https://github.com/johnwason/tesseract/actions/runs/12059352095/job/33627810158

Ah, ok! The problem is that you are requiring pcl >= 1.14.1 that was built after the libboost 1.86 migration, but also pinning libboost to 1.84 (probably as you depend on the main conda-forge-pinnings)? As the liboost 1.86 migration is quite progressed (and we just build ompl for boost 1.86 as well, see conda-forge/ompl-feedstock#51) probably you can override the conda-forge pinning and pin libboost to 1.86 ?

The script runs conda-smithy as part of the CI process so I don't think we have any pins: https://github.com/johnwason/tesseract/blob/d63aa65982c398b200dbcb4ee67a501605e9d452/.github/workflows/conda.yml#L84

I guess you get the conda-forge global binnings via conda-smithy, that at the moment are inconsistent as they prescribed to use pcl 1.4.1 and boost 1.84, but in conda-forge it is not a problem as all packages using pcl have been migrated to boost 1.86. To override the conda-smithy pinnings, you can add a conda_build_config.yaml file next to the recipe with the override, where you can override either the boost or pcl pinning.
