Package: prayer Version: 1.0.18-1 Severity: serious If you enable SSL session caching, prayer uses Berkeley DB (libdb) for that, and, during initialization, compares the version number (major.minor.patch) returned by db_version() with the compile time version and terminates if the major or minor version numbers don't match or the current patch number is lower than the compile time patch number. That's unnecessary and incorrect, at least for Debian's purposes, because a) packaging, dependencies, and sonames make sure that a compatible version of libdb will be loaded, and b) the documentation states that there will be no API or ABI changes within a minor version.
What can happen, and what happened now, is that prayer is built and uploaded to unstable, transitions to testing before the version of libdb it was linked against, and, if SSL session caching is enabled, complains that libdb is too old when in fact it is not. -- Magnus Holmgren holmg...@debian.org Debian Developer
