Bugzilla Bug 223133

The bsddb py files are installed, but the _bsddb.so binary is missing, leading
to runtime errors like this:

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/shelve.py", line 225, in open
    return DbfilenameShelf(filename, flag, protocol, writeback)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/shelve.py", line 209, in __init__
    Shelf.__init__(self, anydbm.open(filename, flag), protocol, writeback)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/anydbm.py", line 82, in open
    mod = __import__(result)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/dbhash.py", line 5, in <module>
    import bsddb
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/bsddb/__init__.py", line 51, in <module>
    import _bsddb

Problem still exists with dev-lang/python-2.5.2-r4 and sys-libs/db-4.6.21_p1.

Can you tell me what db versions you have installed?
It's most likely a problem that happens because the required version is
missing.
In other words, please paste the output of "qlist -Iev db" :-)

Never mind. I changed bsddb dependencies to fix this.
Thanks for reporting :-)
