Bug#263804: increase severity of libapr0-dev: [PATCH] : link coherently with Berkeley DB

[Matt Kraai]

Howdy,

It's not a matter of versioned symbols.  The problem is that, at
least on SPARC, the output of apu-config --libs contains
-ldb-4.0, whereas the package does depends on libdb4.2-dev
instead of libdb4.0-dev.

  As indicated earlier in the report aprutil links with DB 4.0 which the
  rest of the package links with 4.2.  That leaves apache linking with
  two separate versions.  In the past a similar multi-version link
  between subversion and apache of berkeley DB caused segmentation
  faults in apache.

 This should not happen, have you got references for this? All versions
 of BerkeleyDB in Debian use versioned symbols which should make
 linking against two versions at runtime safe.

hmm, well I cannot find a reference.  It is possible that the problem
I am remembering did not occur on a Debian system.  Perhaps I should
just fix the subversion build to not get upset with the incoherent
linking. . .
