Control: affects -1 + src:rpm
[ Reason ]
Version 4.18 of RPM changed the format of its internal database
from the traditional BerkeleyDB one to a new SQLite implementation.
For compatibility purposes, including the ability to automatically
migrate an old database to a new one during an upgrade, RPM needs to
be able to read the old-format database. Some more information may
be found in #1061258.
Due to my omission when packaging the RPM update to 4.18.0,
the corresponding configure-script option was not included when
building the Debian RPM package.
[ Impact ]
Users who upgrade from RPM 4.16.0 or earlier to 4.18.0 cannot use
their database of packages already installed via RPM.
[ Tests ]
None so far.
[ Risks ]
Although the `--enable-bdb-ro` option that allows RPM to read
old-style BerkeleyDB files using its own parser is marked as
experimental in the documentation, it is considered stable enough
to use by other Linux distributions, both RPM-based and those that,
like Debian, only provide RPM as a convenience to the users.
IMHO any risk of data corruption or incorrect behavior is minimal.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Pass the `--enable-bdb-ro` option to the GNU configure script, thus
building the internal BerkeleyDB parser that RPM will use to read
the old-style database of installed packages.
