[gentoo-user] libdb no longer slotted?

[Grant Edwards]

It seems that sys-libs/db used to be slotted (I previously had 3 or 4
versions installed). But todays update is failing becuase Python wants
libdb-4.7 and Perl wants libdb-4.3. They won't both install because of
file collisions.

Is libdb no longer slotted?

How does one deal with applications that require different versions of
libdb?

Neither google nor bugzilla have been helpful...

First, sys-libs/db is still slotted, of course
eix -n sys-libs/db 
gives
[I] sys-libs/db
     Available versions:  
        (1)     1.85-r3
        (3)     3.2.9-r11 3.2.9_p2
        (4.2)   4.2.52_p4-r2 (~)4.2.52_p5 4.2.52_p5-r1
        (4.3)   4.3.29-r2 (~)4.3.29_p1 4.3.29_p1-r1
        (4.4)   (~)4.4.20_p4 (~)4.4.20_p4-r1

        (4.6)   4.6.21_p4{tbz2}
        (4.7)   (~)4.7.25_p3 4.7.25_p4{tbz2}

        {doc elibc_FreeBSD examples java nocxx tcl test}
     Installed versions:  1.85-r3(1)(12:35:43 PM 07/16/2008) 4.5.20_p2-r1(4.5){tbz2}(05:36:16 PM 04/01/2009)(tcl -doc -elibc_FreeBSD -java -nocxx -test) 4.6.21_p4(4.6){tbz2}(04:06:48 PM 03/23/2009)(tcl -doc -elibc_FreeBSD -java -nocxx -test) 4.7.25_p4(4.7){tbz2}(02:58:36 PM 06/22/2009)(tcl -doc -elibc_FreeBSD -java -nocxx -test) 4.8.30(4.8){tbz2}(09:52:24 AM 05/04/2010)(tcl -doc -elibc_FreeBSD -examples -java -nocxx -test)

Trying
for S in 1 4.5 4.6 4.7 4.8; do
  emerge -vpc sys-libs/db:$S
done

shows that here python-2.6.5-r2 uses 4.7  while perl-5.10.1 uses 4.8
and my system is running quite happily (at least, I think so)

Yes, that's what I saw before the latest update.

No matter what order I do that in, the second one always fails because
of file collisions.

I wonder what happened to mine...

This is bug #318367 [1]. It looks like the issue is already fixed in
the tree. So just sync your portage tree and the error should be gone.

That wasn't there when I searched last night -- I was starting to
think it was just me...
