I'm not quite following the above. The previous version of Jabberd2
starts and stops fine with no problem accessing the DB that was created
by that version (using libdb4.1). Likewise the new version has no
problem accessing a DB that it created (using libdb4.2). The problem
occurs during a normal upgrade. The old package version is stopped and
removed and the new package errors when attempting to open the DB
created with the previous version of Berkeley DB.
Should Jabberd2 be detecting and dealing with the DB change
programatically? Or, do you think that it's not properly
closing/cleaning the DB when it shuts down.
I apologize for my ignorance in the matter, I'm just trying to get a
general idea of what could possibly be missing or incorrect with what
Jabberd2 is doing so I have an idea of what I'm looking for.
