I meant to defer this, not send it to the list, since I'm trying further testing to see if there's a binary incompatibility with files created on the previous version of the Berkeley DB package. Given the number of packages that depend on the Berkeley DB packages, perl-db, python, mysql, openldap, postfix, etc., and the history of binary incompatibilities with the databases, I think it's extremely important to make sure that any issues are resolved and documented before changing the db package.
