I noticed that you are build-depending on libdb4.7++, I dont know that much about the bdb madness, but I do know that the bitcoin that I compiled from source was compiled against libdb4.8++ and when I try and install your packaged version, it can't read the wallet database. Is there any specific reason you went with 4.7 instead of 4.8, or was it just what your build environment had? My guess is that it would be best to switch to 4.8 right away, before this is accepted into Debian, because the transition from 4.7 to 4.8 is not going to be trivial (although, in theory... nuking the transaction logs, and removing the database environment will make it work, it will be a pain and somewhat scary for people's wallets). micah
