Package: libdb5.1 Version: 5.1.29-5 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Given that wheezy only has libdb5.1, but squeeze only has varous libdb4.x libraries, there may arise a situation where software compiled for libdb4 will not have anything available to resolve library dependencies. This may not be the case with most/all of the included software in Debian, but if people have compiled stuff in /usr/local, there may be dependency issues when upgrades from Debian 6 to 7 occur. Would it be possible to put libdb5.1[-dev] in squeeze-backports as a way to bridge the jump in version numbers and 'future proof' any compilations that we're doing right now? -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libdb5.1 depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38 ii multiarch-support 2.13-38 libdb5.1 recommends no packages. libdb5.1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
