The resolution to this is simply not use the berkeley USE flag. But I don't think it's right to require a non-existent package as a dependency. Shingoshi
This error means that no version of Berkeley DB was found. Try: emerge -1 db USE="berkdb" emerge -1 apr-util

How is this going to change anything? I don't have any other package complaining about a missing db. This message was specifically asking for one version of db, 4.0.14. That version does NOT exist in the Gentoo portage. I will post my build.log and emerge --info here in one file. That may give you more information here. Shingoshi

It's completely irrelevant. `./configure` prints the same message regardless of which version of Berkeley DB was not found, but it DOES look for other versions. > -That may give you more information here. That gave no useful information.

Specfically, re-emerging apr-util caused the subversion emerge to start working and it can now find Berkeley DB. As I too had several version of db already installed, I think it was more likely the re-emerge of apr-util that fixed things. As far as I'm concerned - bug closed.
I had the same problem, emerge apr-util did the trick
the thread should be closed
I now have this package installed with the berkdb USE flag, and don't remember what I did to do so. Shingoshi (In reply to comment #7) > the thread should be closed > I now have this package installed with the berkdb USE flag, and don't remember what I did to do so. Shingoshi

Same subversion-berkeley db problems here. reemerging apr-util did the trick. weird bug eh?

From bug #225279: subversion refuses to build against db-4.6, justifying it with: checking for availability of Berkeley DB... no configure: error: Berkeley DB 4.0.14 wasn't found. In its configure script it checks whether the linked db claims to be version 4.0.14, while db-4.6 does not seem to do that. Symlinking /usr/lib/libdb.so to libdb-4.5.so fixes that.
Your fix worked, too.
(In reply to comment #13) > configure script it checks whether the linked db claims to be version > 4.0.14, while db-4.6 does not seem to do that. configure script checks if Berkeley DB is AT LEAST 4.0.14. > Symlinking /usr/lib/libdb.so to libdb-4.5.so fixes that. It's incorrect workaround.

AFAIK this bug was never fixed and the proposed workaround is plain evil.
(In reply to comment #19) > AFAIK this bug was never fixed This bug should be WORKSFORME or INVALID. Users have to reemerge APR-Util after upgrading Berkeley DB.

As a further add on... you can get apr, apr-util and berkley-db, install berkley-db, install apr and install apr-util all with reference to the newly installed berkley-db then compile subversion from scratch... that fixes the problem.
In r35017 I have fixed the message: "Berkeley DB 4.0.14 wasn't found." -> "Berkeley DB 4.0.14 or newer wasn't found." >=subversion-1.6_pre35020 ebuilds manually specify Berkeley DB version. https://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn?view=revision&revision=35017 https://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn?view=revision&revision=35021 https://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn?view=revision&revision=35059
(In reply to comment #23) >=subversion-1.6_pre35665 doesn't require that APR-Util be build with support for Berkeley DB. https://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn?view=revision&revision=35665
