Subversion emerge fails
 

Hi everyone.

When I emerge subversion, i get the following error:

<snip>
checking for availability of Berkeley DB... no
configure: error: Berkeley DB 4.0.14 wasn't found.

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/subversion-1.5.0_rc5/work/subversion-1.5.0-rc5/config.log
*
* ERROR: dev-util/subversion-1.5.0_rc5 failed.
...
</snip>

Here is the output of eix sys-libs/db:

I'm running ~x86, so I don't expect things to always work. Is this a
bug, or is there something else wrong?

Why don't you just disable the berkdb USE-flag? The usage of
subversion's database backend is discouraged anyway (for most use
cases).

hmm, probably

a) broken ebuild (missing bdb dep)
b) broken ./configure script (which can't find existing bdb)

For now I masked the version of subversion giving the problems, I only
occasionally use subversion on that machine. I would however like to
contribute if it's something useful. Should I log a bug for this, or
wouldn't there be many people trying to emerge subversion with berkly
db support?

Sure, post it. It's clearly a bug. Every little piece helps :)

The bug is already filed (221185). Turns out you have to emerge
apr-utils. Next time I'll check bugzilla first.

So much for filing my first bug.
