Wich is the status of the -ldb problem?

[Jose "C." Garcia Sogo <jose@jaimedelamo.eu.org>]

  Hello!

 I have experienced the problem of 'libdb not found' trying to compile
seahorse. After looking in BTS I have some questions

 This problem appears when gnome-config --libs is invoked with libglade
(at least) parameter, as it prints out -ldb instead of -ldb-3, wich is
the library on wich libgnome-dev depends. So this means that a bug must
be filled against libgnome-dev.

 But reading BTS I have found that a similar bug was yet filled against
libgnome-dev (look at bug #89670, it was reopened due to this issue).
What surprised me is that this bug was closed, without being solved.

  Reading a little more, it seems like libglade must be built against
new libgnome, and after doing this, libgnome-dev will be fixed, is this
right? But, I think this doesn't mean that the libgnome-dev bug can be
closed, as gnome-config belongs to this package and doesn't work.

  As I'm in the middle of the new maintainer process, I'd like to know
what should be done in this situation.
 I will wait for the answers before filling a bug against libgnome-dev,
which is something that should be done, IMHO.


   Regards, and thaks for your attention.
