I've now raised ticket

for this. I documented the reasons on -dev in

but since most users don't read -dev I'll mention it here too.
AFAICS, use of DB version 5 is a known and expected situation, so
the details of what changed internally in a given version do not
need to concern us (unlike any possible changes from v6 to v18).
So, once it builds (Arch apply a patch) it should just drop in and
reduce our maintenance.
But maybe I'm missing something, or perhaps people think that
reverting to an old stable version is generally undesirable. If so,
this is your chance to speak up.
NB - I'm already overdrawn on the time I'm committing to BLFS. All
being well, I'll look at this on my *next* build (that will be
several days away) where I plan to experimentally try newer versions
of some packages to see if htey cause problems.

I build rpm with Berkeley DB version 6.0.20. and have not had an issues
for 2 years.
I do not use the Arch linux patch, it builds straight up for me.
What was the issue with version 6?
