[Problem] "conda install freecad-rt" fails because "smesh-rt" still depends on "boost-cpp to 1.78.0" instead of newer "boost-cpp to 1.82.0" ???

Is there an existing issue for this?

Problem description

I am on wind64 (AMD) and want to install freecad-rt via Anaconda but I am getting conflicts, which I manually resolved until I got to one last problem which I require Realthunder's help with.

(CondaEnv_CAE) PS C:\Users\ME> conda install 'cuda[version=12.3.2, subdir=win-64]'

I require latest CUDA toolkit, this works

(CondaEnv_CAE) PS C:\Users\ME> conda install 'cupy[version=13.0.0, subdir=win-64, build=py311hc5e6136_1]'

I need cupy with latest CUDA which works fine

(CondaEnv_CAE) PS C:\Users\ME> conda install 'pycuda[version=2024.1, subdir=win-64, build=py311hb43e914_2]'

I need PyCuda which requires libboost 1.82.0 and not lib 1.78.0 which is a constraint for boost-cpp 1.78.0

(CondaEnv_CAE) PS C:\Users\ME> conda install 'freecad-rt[version=20240123stable, build=py311h2e52968_3, subdir=win-64]'

I need freecad-rt which requires general boost-cpp so we use boost-cpp 1.82.0 to avoid thhe initial problem above
- it has to pull in a separate libboost-devel 1.82.0
But it also needs smesh-rt 9.9.0.0 which contrains boost-cpp to 1.78.0 again
- I require a solution: Realthunder, please create new a version of smesh-rt that uses boost-cpp 1.82.0
  - look at the reference win-64/smesh-9.9.0.0-h8cb9368_7.conda with build_number 10 (instead of <6)
    - this already uses boost-cpp 1.82.0, please add your own modifications to make the smesh-rt version of it

The situation is as follows, ERROR from Anaconda Powershell

I also do not understand why it is claiming boost-cpp 1.82.0 requires libboost to be <0 and conflicts with libboost 1.82.0 as on the repository page it has no such constraint: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/boost-cpp/files/modal/info/65222e3400f5e77121bd4cd1

PLEASE ADVISE

Anything else?

I already tried installing freecad-rt first with conda and then installing PyCuda but it would degrade PyCuda and my Cuda toolkit in Anaconda to an older 11.8 which isn't an elegant solution.

A minor improvement was made but I still have this issue. Using this code ...

conda config --set channel_priority strict

... as recommended on https://github.com/conda-forge/boost-feedstock I now have boost-cpp (1.82.0) and libboost (1.82.0) without any conflicts. I then tried to install freecad-rt again and now get this ...

So now all I need is for freecad-rt to be compatible with boost-rt 1.82.0 instead of <=1.78.*
