Package: pam
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Please reconsider using a newer version of Berkeley DB. The old 'db3' version
has problems on the amd64 and ppc64 architectures.
Upgrading should not be that difficult. Many other packages already switched
to newer versions without problems.
The 'pam_userdb' module is the only part of 'pam' that uses Berkeley DB.
I do not know if this module is used very often, but if someone
wants to use it, he will likely have .db files which were created by
a newer (4.x) version of Berkeley DB.
The attached patch changes 'debian/control' to use 'libdb4.3-dev' instead
of 'libdb3-dev' and drops the patch 'debian/patches-applied/020_userdb_db3'
which is currently applied to the sources.
Regards
Andreas Jochens
