db4o has not been updated in almost a year, and the FTBFS from June has
gone unanswered.  My attempts to fix the FTBFS seems to have uncovered that
the Cecil library it uses has changed its API radically enough that the new
major version of db4o is probably needed to build again:

This package has two rdepends: tangerine and longomatch; both would need to
be removed as well.

Thanks for your interest in this, Kees. We have actually been working on this recently. See:

  http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-cli-libs/packages/db4o.git;a=summary

and the commits I will push there quite soon.

Admittedly we haven't been keeping the BTS as up-to-date as we could have, but a ping would have allowed us to explain the situation. One of the reasons for the recent delays is that all CLI updates are tied to a transition we are currently seeing through.

Rest assured that a new version of db4o will be forthcoming very soon.

Regards,
Iain
