I did get the impression from the sks list that db5 worked better than db4, though. Or perhaps that was something which sleapycat fixed in more recent versions of 4, too?

The issue seen on debian was that the tools for 5.1 were used by the upgrade script when the sks-dependent-on-5.3 was released, but there was no dependency so apt didn't know to ensure that the binary dpkg required was installed. That shouldn't be an issue on Gentoo, given that the programs installed with a given db SLOT are not dependent on any USE flags and the parallel versions tend to remain longer. It seems, even though I only mentioned it in an aside, I could have thought of a better example. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6
