But apt-ftparchive has the option to use BDB (= Berkeley DB) for caching and while I still believe it wouldn't be too hard to change to another DB (minus the probably hard part of vacillating a transition), I don't see it happen any time soon. At least I don't see why I should do it & so did nobody else in the last 12 years [0] (also: #1119193).
There were 3 attempts to move away from BDB in the last 11 months, but all failed unfortunately.
Sqlite is still my preferred option for an admin-managed database. -- Regards, Ahmad
