looks like these are the ones causing the problems:
libboost-system1.42.0
libboost-filesystem1.42.0
libboost-iostreams1.42.0
libboost-regex1.42.0
libboost-thread1.42.0

I have no idea what they are...

something to do with the Boost C++ Libraries???

@Jenason,

Where did you get opera-mobile 11.5 from?
The last version for maemo I know of is 11.00.9
