I think the actual error is: # : BDB4015 library build did not include support for sequences
# Failed test (t/sequence.t at line 33) # The object isn't defined Can't call method "set_cachesize" on an undefined value at t/sequence.t line 35. # Looks like you planned 13 tests but only ran 3. # Looks like your test died just after 3. t/sequence.t ... 1..13 ok 1 ok 2 - The object isa BerkeleyDB::Env not ok 3 - The object isa BerkeleyDB::Sequence Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) Failed 11/13 subtests Looking at recent build logs for db5.3 on armhf [1], the build log of 5.3.28+dfsg2-4.1 shows: checking for 64-bit integral type support for sequences... no checking for growing a file under an mmap region... no Whereas the build logs of 5.3.28+dfsg2-4.1~exp1 and older show: checking for 64-bit integral type support for sequences... yes checking for growing a file under an mmap region... yes Regards Graham [1] https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=db5.3&arch=armhf
