Subject: krb5-1.0.2 DB lib very old
version. The one distributed with krb5-1.0.2 is extremely out of date and
it is difficult to compile krb5-1.0.2 when you have the more recent one in
libc.a
I have attached the most recent announcement.

We would like to announce that the 2.3.12 release of the DB package is
now available from the Sleepycat Software DB web page:
http://www.sleepycat.com/db
This release is intended to fix a few bugs that we have found and to
enhance performance. There are minor interface changes in this release,
one of which may require that DB applications be modified and recompiled.
For a complete discussion of interface changes in various DB versions,
and in DB 2.3.12 in particular, please see:
http://www.sleepycat.com/update/update.html
http://www.sleepycat.com/update/if.2.3.12.html
The DB distribution README files are:
db-2.3.12/README -- general information
db-2.3.12/build.unix/README -- building DB on UNIX systems
db-2.3.12/build.win32/README -- building DB on Win32 systems
db-2.3.12/test/README -- running the test suite
If you have any questions about, or problems with DB, please review the
"Release FAQ" and "Update" web pages linked from the main DB page. Any
issues of public interest for the DB 2.3.12 release will be posted to
one of those pages. If the problem you're seeing is not addressed there,
please send email to db@sleepycat.com.
We hope that you find DB useful!

Please update the DB2 library from the ALPHA pre-release to the current
version. The one distributed with krb5-1.0.2 is extremely out of date and
it is difficult to compile krb5-1.0.2 when you have the more recent one in
libc.a
Krb5 1.0 does not use the DB2 library, it uses the Berkeley DB 1.85
library. (Which can be freely used for commercial or non-commercial
software under the BSD license.) We do get copies of the release
announcements from Sleepycat Software, so we are aware of the existence
of DB 2.x from Sleepycat.
What sort of problems are you having when DB2 is located in libc? And
why is it there in the first place?
To quote from excerpted parts of the DB2 FAQ:
The latest version of DB2 is format incompatible with the version of DB
1.85, and at the time of the 1.0 release, we weren't confident about the
relative stability of DB 2.x as compared with DB 1.85.
