why want remove such programms aptitude , libreoffice , how prevent that?

this happening because these packages have dependency on 1 of libboost* packages removing.

for example, libreoffice-core depends on libboost-system1.54.0

so if remove libboost-system1.54.0, libreoffice-core not work. nor of libreoffice packages depend on libreoffice-core. package manager wants remove them instead of leaving bunch of broken packages.

you theoretically prevent this, why? left bunch of broken packages on system.

probably question should ask why need remove libboost* appears bad idea.
