Actually libsvn-dev doesn't depend on libdb*-dev anyway, only indirectly, thanks to apr-util. (This possibly should be a direct dependency - but since svn upstream detects libdb via apr-util, rather than directly, the current indirect dependency expresses things pretty well.) So, what are we supposed to do about it? I'm calling it "wontfix" - I can't speak for the libgnome-dev maintainers, but I believe they'll agree. We (in svn) surely have a reason to use libdb4.4, I assume they have a reason to use libdb3. This could be "fixed" in the libdb*-dev packages, letting them be installed side-by-side by moving /usr/include/db.h into a versioned subdirectory or something, but that would have interesting (and hard-to-predict) effects on everyone's build who uses libdb*-dev. Many packages would probably end up building with the wrong libdb, if more than one is installed. > Not sure if this applies to sid/lenny, I haven't tried.
