Package: bitcoin
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
In the bitcoin_0.8.6-1.dsc file, the "Build-Depends:" section includes the
entry "libdb++-dev | libdb4.8++-dev". This results in the package potentially
being built with BDB version 5.1. The recommended version, and the one that the
upstream release binaries for all platforms (including Windows, OS X, and
Linux) are built with, is 4.8. BDB is used in the Bitcoin software for the
bitcoin wallet. BDB 5.1 databases are not backwards-compatible with BDB 4.8.
The result of this is any wallet.dat files that are created by, or even opened
with, a Bitcoin binary compiled with BDB 5.1, that wallet will become
incompatible with most other bitcoin binaries out there.
