[pkg-db-devel] Bug#625484: libdb4.8: 'Build signature doesn't match environment' in 4.8.30-6

[Laurens Blankers]

Package: libdb4.8
Version: 4.8.30-4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


When upgrading libdb4.8 from version 4.8.30-4 to 4.8.30-6 slapd fails to start. Executing
e.g. slapcat returns the following error:

--- BEGIN ---
# slapcat
bdb(dc=blankersfamily,dc=com): Build signature doesn't match environment
bdb_db_open: database "dc=blankersfamily,dc=com" cannot be opened, err -30971. Restore from backup!
backend_startup_one (type=bdb, suffix="dc=blankersfamily,dc=com"): bi_db_open failed! (-30971)
slap_startup failed
--- END ---

Because my systems relies on LDAP for user authentication this makes the entire system
unusable (hence the critical).

Downgrading to 4.8.30-4 makes slapd and slapcat work again.

A quick fix would be greatly appreciated,

Laurens
