Nope. My system: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS $ dpkg -l | grep libdb5 ii libdb5.3:amd64 5.3.28-3ubuntu3 $ dpkg -l | grep moc ii moc 1:2.5.0~beta1+svn201311 and mocp plays very well! > The problem isn't whether libdb-5.1.so exists -- the problem is that > mocp needs it, but it isn't one of the package dependencies. No, mocp is build against libdb-dev. As far as the API doesn't change it works with whatever libd version libddb-dev'a Api points to. > On your "new Ubuntu 14.04 stick", I'd like you to try this: > > $ ldd `which mocp` |grep libdb5.1 $ ldd /usr/bin/mocp | grep libdb libdb-5.3.so => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so (0x00007f946069f000) > If you get a result, then mocp depends on libdb5.1.

Of course I knwow this very well, as I am maintaining moc since Sun, 14 Nov 2004. Check out $ apt-get changelog moc And scroll to the last line, though. And I know many, many characters of bug posters......
