Package: nvi
Version: 1.79-26
Severity: important
The vi clone "nvi" never used to depend on libdb at all. Now
upgrading to 1.81.6-3 would suddenly require libdb4.2, while
the "current" versions of libdb in unstable are libdb4.6 and
libdb4.7. Versions 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 were obsoleted years ago.
This has the ugly smell of a security problem to my nose, so
I'm holding the package back until I find out why a very minimal
text editor needs to depend on libdb at all, and why it is
depending on such an old version of it.

Description:
nvi - 4.4BSD re-implementation of vi
nvi-doc - 4.4BSD re-implementation of vi - documentation files
Closes: 490361 497349
Changes:
nvi (1.81.6-5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* nvi no longer requires a specific libdb4 revision.
To this end revive 03db4.dpatch and make a few adjustments.
Closes: #490361. Stay at low urgency despite RC - I want
proper testing for this widechar mess.
* Start new patch 13widechar_horrors.dpatch and begin to fix
all the places the widechar support hasn't reached yet or
which have simply been overlooked.
* Fix number increment/decrement bug (that's one of those).
Closes: #497349.
* Lintian cleanups:
* Switch to dh_prep.
* Have package scripts call 'set -e'.
* Add new lintian override regarding the (unused) dist/ltconfig.
