I recently upgraded my Ubnutu 14 desktop to 16.04 LTS.

When I attempt to start bitcoind from terminal, I get this error

xx@xx:~$ bitcoind
bitcoind: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.54.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thinks I've tried:
Removing the bitcoind package and the lib boost package
Adding them back
apt-get updates

Some are saying on other forums its a symbolic link problem, but haven't been abled to solve it.  We are down one node because of this error Sad
