Apparently, your patch was undone at some point before 1.0, or else someone added new va_args material which required my new patch. Can you point to somewhere in the new source where your va_args work is there, so the maintainer (Greg Stark) will accept this part of the patch? On the other part (looking in /usr/include/db1/ for ndbm.h), Greg has said that it should build without this, but hasn't given enough Build-Depends for me to successfully do this. Any ideas? In any case, is this going to get built for PPC (or ARM, though no recent non-US has been built for ARM...) in time for potato? Or are people waiting for Greg to approve something? I can't build it without this patch, and it seems to work perfectly with it, and it would be too bad if the whole package were left out of potato when there's a working, if "inelegant", patch...
