After updating sys-libs/db to 4.6.19 version and running revdep-rebuild, it comes to recompile openoffice (2.2.1 version) with failure on configure command when trying to find db : checking which db to use... external checking db-4.5/db.h usability... no checking db-4.5/db.h presence... no checking for db-4.5/db.h... no checking db4.5/db.h usability... no checking db4.5/db.h presence... no checking for db4.5/db.h... no checking db-4.4/db.h usability... no checking db-4.4/db.h presence... no checking for db-4.4/db.h... no checking db4.4/db.h usability... no checking db4.4/db.h presence... no checking for db4.4/db.h... no checking db-4.3/db.h usability... no checking db-4.3/db.h presence... no checking for db-4.3/db.h... no checking db4.3/db.h usability... no checking db4.3/db.h presence... no checking for db4.3/db.h... no checking db-4.2/db.h usability... no checking db-4.2/db.h presence... no checking for db-4.2/db.h... no checking db4.2/db.h usability... no checking db4.2/db.h presence... no checking for db4.2/db.h... no checking db-4.1/db.h usability... no checking db-4.1/db.h presence... no checking for db-4.1/db.h... no checking db4.1/db.h usability... no checking db4.1/db.h presence... no checking for db4.1/db.h... no checking db-4/db.h usability... no checking db-4/db.h presence... no checking for db-4/db.h... no checking db4/db.h usability... no checking db4/db.h presence... no checking for db4/db.h... no checking db/db.h usability... no checking db/db.h presence... no checking for db/db.h... no configure: error: no. install the db4-dev package make: *** [stamp/build] Error 1 * * ERROR: app-office/openoffice-2.2.1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 1654: Called dyn_compile * ebuild.sh, line 990: Called qa_call 'src_compile' * ebuild.sh, line 44: Called src_compile * openoffice-2.2.1.ebuild, line 325: Called die * * Build failed * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/log/portage/app-office:openoffice-2.2.1:20070908-101748.log'.

@caleb - please actually test things that depend on sys-libs/db before unmasking such stuff. - apr-util doesn't build (Bug 190373) -> apache broken - openoffice doesn't build (this bug) - openldap plain doesn't support this one and gets completely FUBARed (locking changes) - lots of other things won't compile either Re-masked by Hollow until it's reasonably usable without breaking major stuff.
Created attachment 130343 [details, diff] system-check-db-4.6.patch Possible patch. It brings me past the configure error but I'm still compiling openoffice and can't tell if this is the only necessay patch...

Is this still a problem with openoffice 2.3.0?
Yes, and the patch from comment #2 worked nicely. It compiled on both my x86 and amd64 machines.
