There isn't necessarily. I don't know much about libdb myself, but in previous releases I had problems trying to link with -ldb. It was probably my own fault, though. > It doesn't seem that tcpstat use anything special from > Berkeley DB (transactions) so there is no reason to depend on > libdbX.Y-dev instead of libdb-dev. > > Could you please do that change? It certainly doesn't use transactions. In fact, the only reason the package uses libdb is to create an in-memory hash (it doesn't even create any files). I'll try to make the package depend on libdb-dev instead. However, I have a question regarding that change. By depending on a generic libdb-dev, don't I risk the package breaking when future versions of libdb are released?
