app-crypt/xca-0.5.1 fails to compile because the gentoo-provided patch "configure-db-4.1.patch" for the xca-0.5.1 ebuild hardcodes "/db4.1" into the subdirs variable. Of course, this subdir is no longer found within /usr/include after upgrading to db-4.2*, which has recently gone stable. I would propose either Change the patch filename to "configure-db-4.patch" Change the added directory to "/db4.?" -or- Change the patch filename to "configure-db.patch" Change the added directory to "/db???" (as suggested in bug #83940) Of course, it would also work for now to add "/db4.2" to the subdir list, but the above suggestions would be more forward-thinking.

They don't on my system - only /usr/include/db4.2 does - and I even just remerged db for kicks. If /usr/include/db4.1 exists on your system, what package owns it? Further support for my position is the fact that this is a known issue, as discussed in bug #83940 - they removed the /usr/include/db4.1 symlink so packages that depend on that hardcoded path will not work. Finally, my own overlay ebuild, which does nothing but implement the second option in my original comment, works perfectly.
Created attachment 65804 [details] db-4.? configure patch I've tested the issue on a brand new system and the good news are, you're right, my system actually have the db4.1 dir and db3 too, if you look at the db ebuild you will notice that the lib is instaled on diferent slots for each version, mu guess is since my primary system is running for a while now i've got all then sitting around and build xca over db-4.1 instead db-4.2, so i'm uploading the patch as you sugested and a modified ebuild too and let's bother some devs till then commit it ;]
Created attachment 65805 [details] xca new ebuild with db-4.? patch
not totally happy with it yet - I think it will always go for the lower version of db.
