See http://bugs.debian.org/592119 In short, prayer checks the current version of libdb and refuses to start if it's older than when prayer was compiled. It shouldn't do that because the API and ABI of libdb don't change within the same minor version, IIUC, and if it did we have shlibs files to handle the dependencies. It only does it if SSL session caching is enabled though, and SSL session caching is disabled by default, so I'm not sure how serious that bug should be actually considered. Also, the problem will go away when the db4.8 package in unstable enters testing, but for now it exists. Could I get a freeze exception for the attached debdiff? It also includes a change to source format 3.0 (quilt) that I had already committed when I noticed this bug, but that's a trivial change in this case. -- Magnus Holmgren holmgren@debian.org Debian Developer
