Bug#53448: db2 symbol conflict
Package: libc6,libdb2.6,perl-5.005-base
Version: 2.1.2-10,2.6.4-6,5.005.03-4.1
Severity: important
Perl uses the db routines from libc6, which are v2.4.14. When a perl
extension (for example BerkeleyDB, see CPAN) tries to use libdb2.6
(v2.6.4), it will instead get the 2.4.14 routines:
t/btree.............
BerkeleyDB needs compatible versions of libdb & db.h
you have db.h version 2.6.4 and libdb version 2.4.14
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/btree.t line 25.
(this is with /usr/include/db2/db.h and -ldb2).
No, I don't know how one would resolve this problem. However, I do
consider it quite serious.
