[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#421946: openldap2.3: build against newer Berkeley DB

[Russ Allbery]

openldap2.3 is still building against db4.2 at upstream's specific
recommendation.  According to upstream, db4.5 (and db4.4) have regressions
from db4.2 in supporting OpenLDAP.

They have hopes for db4.6, once it's finally released.

This doesn't necessarily mean that we shouldn't switch to db4.5 anyway,
depending on the severity of the regressions, but I wanted to note in the
bug log that there was a reason why this hadn't been done other than
simple lack of time.
