Bug#437838: cyrus-imapd-2.3: Daemons/tools die due to Berkeley DB version mismatch

[Gabor Gombas]

Package: cyrus-imapd-2.3
Version: 2.3.8-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi,

On AMD64, all daemons and database tools die complaining that they were
compiled against db-4.4 headers but were linked against db-4.5. For
local Cyrus builds I have used the following patch (autoreconf is needed
after applying):
