The problem is that current perl depends on libdb4.0 which appears to be
not uploaded anywhere. There is one at
http://mactest98.ruk.cuni.cz/~hramrach/packages

But unless there is libdb4.0 at least on alpha the dependecy problem is still
there.

And the db4.0 source package still cannot be build with the new libc that
has no db1 support. The patch is trivial and there is a long bug discussion
in the BTS bug 160129 already.
