From > an 23 April [[ remaining portions trimmed ]] For everyone's reference, the following is a short thread entitled "db1/glibc debacle" that describes, in part, a couple of the "historical" reasons for our current problems with db4 mirgration: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2002/debian-devel-200208/msg00538.html It may not help us solve the migration problems with db4, but it should be an enlightening message for people that are not really familiar with (or sympathetic to) the problems surrounding upgrades of this nature.
