I have this problem too... same arch (x86_64).
It's not the perl module that it needs; it's rather the bdb library (sys-libs/db). Can you paste the output of equery l db ? Paul, subversion links to a single version of sys-libs/db or to a given one?
# equery l db [ Searching for package 'db' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] games-emulation/dboxfe-0.0.5 (0) [I--] [ ] kde-base/libkcddb-3.5.0 (3.5) [I--] [ ] net-print/foomatic-db-engine-3.0.2 (0) [I--] [ ] sys-apps/dbus-0.50-r1 (0) [I--] [ ] sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.14 (0) [I--] [ ] sys-devel/gdb-6.3-r4 (0) [I--] [ ] sys-libs/pwdb-0.62 (0)
subversion uses the db version that is linked to by apr/apr-util (IFF it is installed). Subversion can also be built without db support. And for client side functionality it is not needed at all although apr/apr-util might bring it in.
Sigh seems like the checks are foobar'd then, I'll see how to fix it.
I just ran into this myself, except I don't have subversion in my flags. In fact, I get this error even with all flags disabled. Why is this specific to +subversion?
Please take a look at: http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=3.3/requirements.html there is requirement of Berkeley DB on Kdevelop 3.3.
kdevelop uses db by itself in some way. It is not related to subversion though.
(In reply to comment #8) > Please take a look at: > http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=3.3/requirements.html The documentation says "Berkley DB >= 3.0 and <= 4.1" but actually version 4 is explicitly required in lib/catalog/catalog.cpp: #error "BDB Version 4 required."
fixed in 3.3.1 ebuild
