Icinga2 on RHEL7 requires boost-iostreams in a newer version then available

Hello Icinga Community,

My company runs a few RHEL7 systems. Today we found that the Icinga2-bin package provided by [1] requires the library libboost_iostreams.so.1.69.0()(64bit). This library is part of the rpm package boost-iostreams. The most currenct version of this library for RHEL7 provided by Redhat is 1.53.0-28. [2]

Please fix the icinga2-bin package or tell us where to get the library in the version required by icinga2-bin.

icinga version:

[root@servername ~]# icinga2 --version
icinga2 - The Icinga 2 network monitoring daemon (version: 2.13.2-1)
