Author about to remove libdb4.1

Hi,

libdb4.1 should be removed from Debian soon. The following packages
still use it (but could move forward to the more recent db4.2 or db4.3
package):
arla
kerberos4kth-servers
vacation
libedataserver1.2-4
libroken16-kerberos4kth
kerberos4kth-kdc
libapache-mod-witch
libotp0-kerberos4kth
evolution-exchange
evolution-data-server1.2
xsim
evolution
libapache-mod-aspseek
evolution-data-server
libapache-csacek
libapache-mod-speedycgi
libdb4.1-ruby1.6
squidguard
libedataserver1.2-dev
libapache-mod-auth-shadow
pkspxyc
libdb4.1-ruby1.8


I itend to file important bugs on all of these packages, and after a
while, start to NMU these packages. Is there a problem with that?

As libdb4.1 is currently RC-buggy, and nobody really intends to put time
into the fix, we need to go forward a bit faster than usual.


Cheers,
Andi

Hi,

I think that this could be delicate issue, because evolution creates DB
files in .evolution and it has to be migrated automaticaly for an user.
So bug is OK, but NMU would not be AFAIK welcomed, since it could broke
user addressbooks, etc.

Takuo, am I right?

Ondrej.

Yes. I think so too.

FWIW, this is just about the same response I got from upstream when I
asked them about the issue. The solution is of course to get rid of
libdb and use tdb or something equivalent.

Which Berkeley DB feature set is needed by evolution?

The database format itself has not changed since 4.0, so no migration
would be necessary unless specific Berkeley DB features are used (like
the transactional data store).
