Description Matt Michalowski 2010-04-07 08:27:55 UTC

When emerging sys-libs/db-4.8.24 or sys-libs/db-4.8.26 a new unversioned/unslotted static archive, libdb_stl.a is installed, which could break future slotted installs

This seems trivial to fix in db.eclass db_src_install_usrlibcleanup() (diff attached)

Reproducible: Always

InCVS now.

Your patches can use some work however, I suggest the following to improve them:
