It works for me, though I don't know that I'm doing the same thing. If I use atp-ftparchive from sid, I create a cache.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 5, native byte-order) Then, I copy the directory of debs and .db file to a machine with db4.2-using apt-ftparchive, run the same command, and it upgrades it to cache.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) If I do it from scratch, I get cache.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) Is your cache.db older than Hash version 5? > (I changed the error message to use db_strerror rather than Errno, since > 'err' is being used instead of errno) > Did it exist at the time? I believe so.
