Warning to CSW users: the upgrade of berkeleydb in 'current' has caused

We are working to rebuild known affected packages to use the newer version
instead. Please only upgrade with caution.
Unfortunately, this also has a disastrous effect on anything outside
OpenCSW built against the libraries. When built against explicit
versions (i.e. /opt/csw/bdb43), I think it is a reasonable expectation
that that will continue to be version 4.3.x -- not capriciously change
to an incompatible 4.7.x version.
I can understand changing bdb4 to the latest version (though this breaks
things as well), but making bdb43, bdb44, etc reference another version
is guaranteed to cause problems.
At the very least the description and version information in the
packages (CSWbdb4, CSWbdb43, CSWbdb44) should accurately reflect that
the packages are now a reference to the current version. This would
help in tracking down problems and also provide meaningful information
from "pkg-get compare". Unfortunately it told me I was getting
"4.2.52,REV=2009.07.28" (CSWbdb), "4.3.29,REV=2009.06.26" (CSWbdb43) and
"4.4.20,REV=2009.07.28" (CSWbdb44) which clearly is not the case.
