A "sort -n" command in db.eclass is not functioning properly resulting in symlinks in /usr/lib being messed up. The problem line is: target=`find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "${name}-*.${ext}" |sort -n |tail -n 1` "sort -n" should be changed to "sort -V" -- otherwise it will sort completely wrong and not do the right thing. With sort -V, it will properly handle db-18.x and understand that it's newer than db-6.x.
