Description Michał Górny archtester

2014-08-13 18:54:59 UTC

checking version of Berkeley DB... version 3.x or above
checking for db_create() in -ldb-5.3... not found
checking for db_create() in -ldb-5.1... not found
checking for db_create() in -ldb-5.0... not found
checking for db_create() in -ldb-4.8... not found

while I have 6.0 installed. Please use db-use.eclass to get proper library and flags.

Comment 1 Branko Grubic 2014-10-04 19:48:15 UTC

This is probably why it never removes older libdb-4.8.so and always show 

!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: sys-libs/db-4.8.30-r1
 *  - /usr/lib64/libdb-4.8.so
 *      used by /usr/lib64/libetpan.so.17.1.0 (net-libs/libetpan-1.5)

and 'emerge @preserved-rebuild' rebuilds the package but it still links against old libdb.

This seems simple enough.  Will it ever be fixed?

$ libetpan-config --libs
-L/usr/lib64 -letpan -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed -lz -lssl -lcrypto -ldb-5.3 -lz -pthread

Looks like affected versions are gone now?
