Description Robert Förster 2014-09-19 17:42:37 UTC

as per $URL, support for bdb version 6.0.20 and higher is dropped due to licensing concerns.

it is probably advisable that this slot is blocked to avoid people converting their database on 2.3.39 to a version which is incompatible later (that being 2.4.40+).

Reproducible: Always
