Description Gregory Beauregard 2014-08-04 01:25:12 UTC 
mail-mta/postfix-2.11.1 is failing to build on ~amd64 after a recent world update that caused postfix to be under a @preserved-rebuild from a sys-libs/db upgrade.

The error is salient (full logs also attached):
dict_db.c: In function ‘dict_db_open’:
dict_db.c:705:2: error: #error "Unsupported Berkeley DB version"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to ~amd64
2. Match my USE flags (maybe)
3. Install postfix
Actual Results:  
postfix build fails

Expected Results:  
postfix builds

proposed patch

It seems to me that upstream does not support db v6, but it compile and works for me with attached patch. Well, I am sure that MORE test are required because my mail setup is very simple.
