Re: libdb4 package
>From the content of the URL referenced below, it looks like the bug is in
reference to the source Debian package db4.0 4.0.14-1. The source I'm
talking about is db-4.0.14.tar.gz from http://www.sleepycat.com/ using
./configure ./make ./make install. Doing so on a Debian GNU/Hurd system
with the latest packages works. Does this imply that I should try looking
at why the Debian source package does not compile and fix that?
