app-i18n/libpinyin-1.0.0 pulls sys-libs/db:4.8 with this snippet of ebuild:

RDEPEND="sys-libs/db:4.8
        dev-libs/glib:2"

even if the ebuild uses the most recent version of sys-libs/db to build anyway.

Possible solutions:

* if app-i18n/libpinyin-1.0.0 requires sys-libs/db:4.8 to function properly, it should build against the right version requested by ebuild;
* if app-i18n/libpinyin-1.0.0 works fine withe the latest sys-libs/db, dependency on the specific 4.8 slot should be dropped.

app-i18n/libpinyin-1.0.0 builds fine with sys-libs/db:5.3, though I haven't tested it thouruoghly.
