I did indeed try a build against libdb4.6, and the results didn't satisfy me. There were spurious warnings about a missing DB_CREATE parameter and some strange open() calls which made me move back to a older version of libdb just to be on the safe side. (Note that these are runtime issues - the build itself does indeed run without problems.) Another factor was time - I wanted to get this into Lenny (and even now it is questionable whether it will make it). Now that 1.81.6 is in the archive, I'll test more libdb versions and upgrade the dependency when I am sure that it will work. Regards, Jan
