After emerge the new db-4.5.20 (with db-4.3 and db-4.2 installed in slots), the emerge of mail-client/claws-mail-maildir (a plugin of claws-mail that use Maildir++ mailbox format and index the mails with a db file) lead to a segfault of the application at start. A backtrace show me that the segfault appear in the BerkeleyDb code during initialization of a DB_ENV struct (in a db open call precisely). So, after investigate a bit I've seen that db.h pointing to db-4.5 freeshly installed BUT the linking of the plugin show -ldb-4.3 ! After change the db.h link to the 4.3 one and re-emerge the plugin the segfault no longer occur. I think a change is necessary in the ebuild system to choose the right db.h during compilation of packages for this type of compatibility issues. I don't know if a change in the application ebuild or in the db-* ebuilds (or eclass ?) are more accurate.

This should use db-use.eclass; no wonder that it's broken for you (on that note, when it compiles w/ db-4.3, why does it force =db-4.2* in DEPEND?)
I'll start using that eclass as soon as someone writes some guide how to use it - I do not exactly have time to figure out purpose of random eclasses these days.
This patch fixes the problem. BTW, why doesn't the db-use eclass detect the version from the depstring? --- claws-mail-maildir-0.24.4.ebuild.orig 2007-01-09 23:59:54.000000000 +0100 +++ claws-mail-maildir-0.24.4.ebuild 2007-03-15 01:14:13.000000000 +0100 @@ -2,6 +2,8 @@ # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/mail-client/claws-mail-maildir/claws-mail-maildir-0.24.4.ebuild,v 1.1 2007/01/09 22:59:54 ticho Exp $ +inherit db-use + MY_P="${P#claws-mail-}" DESCRIPTION="Plugin for sylpheed-claws to operate on maildir type mailboxes" @@ -12,10 +14,17 @@ KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86" IUSE="" DEPEND=">=mail-client/claws-mail-2.7.0 - =sys-libs/db-4.2*" + =sys-libs/db-4.3*" S="${WORKDIR}/${MY_P}" +src_compile() { + cd $S + + CPPFLAGS="-I$(db_includedir 4.3)" econf + make $MAKEOPTS +} + src_install() { make DESTDIR="${D}" install dodoc AUTHORS ChangeLog NEWS README
Hi, Another update of claws-mail and another db problem with maildir plugin ;) I've tested the change in comment #3 and it works ! Thanks for this change I don't need anymore to manually change the db.h link before re-emerge the plugin. Can you update the ebuild modified in the portage tree please ? Thanks

It is buggy (prone to errors, maildir vs. maildir+ issues, multiple reported data loss), no dev wants to touch it. Now is the time to step up and start maintaining it upstream if you don't want it to go.
