Python 2.4.2 and Berkeley DB 4.4.20 ?

[Damjan]

This is from the Slackware-current changelog:

d/python-2.4.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.2.
The bsddb module didn't build against the new 4.4.x version of
Berkeley DB. Does anyone care? Or perhaps have a patch? :-)

Does anyone have a suggestion?

I have faced this problem when compiling python-2.4.2, too.
Going back some versions of bsddb to db-4.3.27.zip solved that problem
for me.

Support for BerkeleyDB 4.4 (tested against 4.4.20 as well as all the
way back thru 3.2). This should be backported to the release24-maint
