Dear PAM Maintainers, your package builds pam_userdb.so, which currently uses bdb as its storage format. bdb (Berkeley DB) has a questionable future in Debian (likely none). Fedora in the meantime has switched pam_userdb.so to GDBM. See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f40/system-administrators-guide/pam_userdb/ https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pam/blob/rawhide/f/pam.spec#_145 Following Fedoras footsteps for forky might be a good idea. Please consider it, so db5.3/db-defaults can be removed during the duke development cycle. Best, Chris
