Right, the problem is subversion and apache2 have to be compiled with the
same version of libdb, otherwise it all goes haywire. Unfortunately libdb4.0
is not in the archive yet, so I had received a huge number of requests for
db4.0 packages to go with apache2. rather than step on Matthew Wilcox's toes
and create potential problems later I declined to do that and dropped back
to using libdb3.
Right now, the potential fixes are:
(a) I start providing two versions of apache2
(b) the sources are there, if people need db4.0 they're welcome to build
with them.
I think that (a) is better from a technical perspective, but it's a pain in
the ass ;-) (And no, I really don't have room to do chroot builds).
So the solution for the minute is that you guys are gonna have to build
against db4 yourselves.
Sorry!
Cheers,
-Thom
