This package installs also static libs ".a" please provide do add relative USE. TIA /usr/lib/libdb-4.8.a /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.a /usr/lib/libdb_stl-4.8.a /usr/lib/libdb-4.8.so /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.so /usr/lib/libdb_stl-4.8.so /usr/lib/libdb_stl-4.8.la /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.la /usr/lib/libdb-4.8.la Please remove also .la if is not needed.
What is blocking it? Size of static libs is 12M, when size of *.so is only 6,9M, please remove *a.
Created attachment 359238 [details, diff] patch, works fine for me
The .la files should not be installed when USE="-static-libs".
+1 Also, maybe it would be interesting to do it for (at least) newer versions than 4.8 (to not get this again in the future in that newer slots)
