Like Benjamin already said, this is a known problem and fixed in SVN
(and thus pending upload). However, that file only contains the
information of the _default_ DB-types, it doesn't yet take into account
what you configured in your imapd.conf file. In other words: If you
reconfigure your Cyrus-IMAPd installation to only use skiplist or other
non-BDB database types, you will still see BDB entries in that file.

I'm currently thinking of how to improve that. After all, even if
Cyrus-IMAPd is linked against a newer BerkeleyDB, this shouldn't prevent
it from starting if the local admin has configured his Cyrus IMAPd to
run without any Berkeley databases.

Regards,
Sven
