It looks like you have somehow disabled your updates repository. yum is
finding the old -6 build of Boost from the 'fedora' repository (which is
the repo that's frozen in the F19 release state), but you already have a
package from the -8 build that's in the 'updates' repository installed.
Somehow you have gotten updates installed, but then disabled the updates
repo, it looks like.

(note devel@ is the wrong list for this kind of question; users@
would've been better).
