Description Dennis Nezic 2016-10-19 01:56:45 UTC

dev-vcs/subversion-1.9.4 wasn't able to compile with sys-libs/db-6.0:

I have both db-4.2 and db-6.0 installed on my system. I had to set (as I was advised to at the beginning of the ebuild) SVN_BDB_VERSION="4.2" in my make.conf, and then things worked. (Things didn't work if I set it to "6.0".)

I'm not sure if the dependencies should restrict berkeley db to version 4?

Please attach the full build log and the output of emerge --info.
