Hi @silviacsc,

I think the problem is that the boost recipe was updated in Conan Center Index to use rmdir but the recipe did not update the required_conan_version that should be set to at least 1.48.0

You could update your conan version to 1.48 and it should work.

I'm transferring this to the Conan Center Index repo. Thanks a lot for reporting.

1.47 for rmdir ;)
