[Comment 3 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2004-02-08 10:39:08 UTC]

What does /usr/include/db.h link to? It should link to /usr/include/db4.1/db.h

[Comment 4 Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 2004-02-09 05:59:47 UTC]

# file /usr/include/db.h 
/usr/include/db.h: symbolic link to `db4.2/db.h'
# rm /usr/include/db.h 
# ln -s /usr/include/db4.1/db.h /usr/include/db.ht 

Subversion .37 now emerged gracefully, and everything works, even the mod_dav module

I just noticed this bug.  Shouldn't someone close it?  Or reopen a new bug related to the berk db thing, which I also experienced some time ago, but with a different package.

[Comment 6 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2004-02-23 01:48:55 UTC]

Ok, I'll close it
