[gentoo-dev] db-4.0.14: request information

I'm installing subversion latest release and they seems to require db 4.0.14.  
Because that is mask, I was wondering if someone could let me know the status 
of that lib.

Also, is there a safe way to have that one with the 3.x and previous version?  
I need more knowledge on that.

Provided db is slotted properly (I do not know if it is), then
it should be safe to install them side-by-side.

IIRC,

db1.x should have slot "1"
db3.x should have slot "3"
db4.x should have slot "4"

Any idea why they require db4?

Just because it's not broken doesn't mean we can't take it apart.

Yes they are slotted properly... I don't know why they required 4.0.14, at the 
same time I don't know why gentoo is masking it...

There are some (braindamaged?) ebuilds out  there that think they want version 
4.x, while they actually want 3.x, so the dependencies on those ebuilds 
should be updated.

Is it actually possible to specify that an ebuild wants >db-3.0 <db-4.0?
