resolved: emerge -P db and the problem dissapeared.
I close it therefore
*** Bug 51981 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Prune db?!?! How is that "fixing" the problem?? Some things may rely on db4 or db1 or whatever ends up getting the axe (for me it was db1 and db4 and db3 was kept). Subversion is one program that depends on db4!! I don't see how this 'fixes' the bug! Please please fix this bug! I cannot install kdevelop :( as I also get the errors related to db4. I think it is probably because kdevelop should do -ldb-4 in the link...
Which kdevelop version? My guess is that it's something in the configure script we can call to point to the "correct" db version...whatever that is.
make sure that the /usr/lib/libdb.so and /usr/include/db.h symlinks link to a file for the same version. Remerging any db package should fix this
