Bug#42898: libc6: db_dump185 links to libdb not libdb1
Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.2-0pre7
Severity: grave
db_dump185 cannot handle db1.85 databases as it links thus:
# ldd /usr/bin/db_dump185
libdb.so.3 => /lib/libdb.so.3 (0x40006000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40041000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)
This looks like -ldb was used in the makefile rather than -ldb1
This is a grave bug as it prevents users migrating their databases as
recommended by the output of the postinst script of perl-5.005, and could
cause data loss -- Perl doesn't notify as an error that it's clobbering a
database of the wrong type by default.
