So the plan is:
- remove 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 from compat-db
- put 4.8 to compat-db
- make db4 a dead package
(db4 package name is not very descriptive any more as we have libdb-5.3 ...)
Sounds great. For Fedora 17 also, right? #768846 is bad.
No! Changes of this level should only be done for rawhide, F-17 is in stabilisation stage.
The libdb packaging in F-17 is broken. Several things in the spec file simply don't make any sense. Major changes are needed to fix that. Additionally, there are lots of implicit conflicts with db4* in the subpackages. With bug reports in bugzilla even.
