From doc/install-unix.md:
for Ubuntu 13.10:
libboost1.54 will not work,
remove libboost1.54-all-dev and install libboost1.53-all-dev instead.
I tried libboost1.55 and it also doesn't work (on Debian Jessie for ARM), so if the maintainer wants he can add that info to this document although I haven't been able to confirm that on x86-64:
$ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.12.22+ [#691](/bitcoin-bitcoin/691/) PREEMPT Wed Jun 18 18:29:58 BST 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux
Further below, if this applies only to x86/x86-64, that should be stated clearly:
for Debian 7 (Wheezy) and later:
The oldstable repository contains db4.8 packages.
Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list,
replacing [mirror] with any official debian mirror.
deb http://[mirror]/debian/ oldstable main
