Can confirm. libcutl wants to use tr1 versions of boost regex headers but these have been removed in boost 1.65. Simplest way to get around the error would be to allow libcutl to use its bundled boost.

to use the bundled boost may be a workaround, but now what we want to do in the official tree.
The patch in freebsd seems simple enough. It just changes the code to use standard c++ regexes instead of boost tr1 wrappers which are gone with 1.65 https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/libcutl/files/patch-cutl_re_re.cxx?view=markup&pathrev=445764

It's 2017, and it's good that Boost is cleaning up with this TR1 cruft. Using the bundled boost is *not* an option.

It actually looks to me like the only use of boost in libcutl is for the regex wrappers and whole boost dependency could be dropped.
