NVI needs db3, but has a dependency for >=db3. Also it does not correctly detect
db3 when db4 is installed

I have changed the dependency to depend on db-3 and to block on db-4. I'll leave this bug open as it is not really a solution

Also nvi seems to be unmaintained

I've put in an -r1 ebuild of nvi that resolves the db4 issue, but in doing so I have found the package has a lot more problems with the current glibc.
how long is it since somebody actually used this package?

if it warrants removal, then it should be removed.

patch to 1.81.5-r1

I'm happy if nvi remain in the portage tree.
It works fine with my patch for me.
What are the problems with glibc?

yakina: your patch seems to resolve all of the issues, i've tested and commited now. what I took for glibc errors was just db weirdness on a db-4.1 system.
