dblibs



 Can someone explain to me, the hows and whys of libdb and libdb2 as
used in Debian 2.1.

  It seems that a fair number of program, utilities and 'features'
seem to use the 1.85 version, but there is also a 2.4.14 set in
/usr/lib, and a symbolic link to libdb2.

  How does all this fit together?

 I tried to upgrade a system (libdb 2.7.5 libdb.a libdb.so, and
include files), for building perl5, apache and mod-perl, but a number
of items broke almost at once.

  nss_db,  mail, cron, exim are just the portions that I found so far. What
other portions of debian are 'tied' to the 1.85 version of the db?
