Or ... we can finally remove this unmaintained crap from Debian? Oracle decided to kill Berkeley DB with the hostile licensing change, so perhaps it is now time to stop using it? There's only few reverse B-D remaining now: # Broken Build-Depends: animals: libdb5.3++-dev bdbvu: libdb5.3++-dev exim4: libdb5.3-dev freespeech: libdb5.3t64 litecoin: libdb5.3++-dev python-bsddb3: libdb5.3-dev rulex: libdb5.3t64 subversion: libdb5.3-dev And I expect that most of the Broken Depends that dak reports are actually bogus...
