thanks for reporting this as http://bugs.debian.org/719876 -- it sounds to me like you're suggesting bdb may have changed some of its internal interfaces or data structures without bumping version numbers. that's pretty worrisome :( I will try to reproduce this on a jesse→sid vm shortly. > Given the known problems with deb's 1.1.3, I'm reluctant to spend time > trying that version. Can you explain (or point to) what those known problems are? there are open bugs to be sure, but i know that people have run 1.1.3 on debian systems (backported to squeeze even) for quite a while. The main problems i'm aware of are race conditions and timeouts that can happen intermittently with the upgrade scripts, but those should only need to be dealt with once (during an upgrade across major distro versions, like squeeze to wheezy). If there are other known stability problems that aren't in the BTS, i'd love to know about them and try to get them fixed. --dkg
