when trying to emerge spamassassin-3.0.2-r1 with "berkdb" in USE, it depends on dev-perl/DB_File, which collides with perl installed with "berkdb" in USE. And version of DB_File which comes with perl-5.8.5-r4 is newer than that in portage Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Bug 80184 is essentially the same problem, linking these two.
FWIW, http://www.datanode.net/articles/perl-map.html - DB_File 1.811 is now stable on all platforms, making it more recent than 1.809 or 1.810 (5.8.5 and 5.8.6). Which should close this bug, yes?
Guess it's fixed then.
