ICU versions their libraries so that if you've compiled something with ICUX you can't later link it with ICUY. If you built Boost yourself you just need to clean and rebuild it so that it links with the new version of ICU. If not first make sure that you didn't pin the boost version; if you did either remove the pin or roll ICU back to ICU63 and  pin it too. If not then the Boost packager for your distro needs a kick to get a recompiled package linked with the right ICU version.
