Ebuild is forcing db versions up to 4.8, but I see that on Fedora they are building it against 5.3 without issues, could that dep be updated then if possible?

Thanks

I've opened a pull request:

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/2777

It seems that the restrictive checks were introduced because there were
problems with early sys-libs/db-4.8.* (see bug 286352). However now the
bad versions of sys-libs/db no longer exist in the tree, so I just
replaced the complicated db logic by a simple version check.
