Package: xastir Version: 1.9.4-3.1 Severity: normal User: pkg-db-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: db5.1
Your package currently still uses Berkeley DB version 4.8 (libdb4.8). However, there is a newer Berkeley DB version in the archive (libdb5.1), with a compatible API. Berkeley DB version 4.8 will be eventually removed from unstable in favor of version 5.1. Please port your package to libdb5.1 as soon as possible. In most cases only change required is to update build depends from libdb4.8-dev to libdb-dev, or just recompile the package. More complicated scenarios: - Package does check for DB_VERSION_MAJOR == 4 - this should be updated to (DB_VERSION_MAJOR > 4) || ((DB_VERSION_MAJOR == 4) && (DB_VERSION_MINOR >= XX)). - Configure checks - sometime there is a list of db-4.8 db-4.6 db-4.2, etc., this needs to be updated to just db (or db-5.1 db-5 db), or at least list the 'db' in the front You can see example patch in cyrus-imapd-2.2: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd-2.2.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/99-berkelydb-5.1.dpatch;hb=HEAD - The packages which use Berkeley DB transactional mode need to upgrade the database files before the upgrade. This is fairly straightforward and is well documented on the Berkeley DB website. But you probably already know that because it's not the first Berkeley DB transition. The example script can be found in the cyrus-imapd-2.4 (not yet released): http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd-2.4.git;a=blob;f=debian/cyrus-upgrade-db;hb=HEAD Thanks, -- Ondřej Surý <ond...@debian.org> -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers maverick-updates APT policy: (500, 'maverick-updates'), (500, 'maverick-security'), (500, 'maverick-proposed'), (500, 'maverick-backports'), (500, 'maverick') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
