[SOLVED] db 4.8.26-1

falconindy · 2010-01-12 16:30:16

With the new db package in testing, I'm issued a warning on installation:

ATTENTION DB PACKAGE:
Please consider to run db_upgrade on Berkeley DB databases with a major db version number update.

While this does state exactly what needs to be done, it's not completely intuitive. How do I go about finding these db's (if I have any in use) to upgrade them?

man db

Db is a general purpose debugging program. It may be used to examine files and to provide a controlled environment for the execution of programs.
A textfile is a file containing the text and initialized data of an executable program. A pid or corefile specifies the memory image of a process. A pid gives the id of an
executing process to be accessed via ptrace(2). A corefile specifies the name of a core dump (see core(5) on your system of choice) containing the memory image of a termi‐
nated process. This manual refers to the memory image specified by pid or corefile as a memfile.
...

have you debugged something? or did any thing in that matter?
If not it's probable you don't need to do it.
I've did what it said and seeing options required decided that i really don't need to do it.
maybe I'll suffer the consequenses later on... but I don't think so.
And if I will, I know who to blame

I think he's referring to the Berkeley DB. The Arch package for that doesn't supply a db manpage. There is a dbopen manpage supplied by man-pages. (Primoz, you must have something installed that's shadowing that, because on my system

man db

gives me the dbopen manpage.)

Really? Strange. I've upgraded db today from db...
It also makes more sense that man opens db manual...
Still what's the worst that can happen?

I know for a fact there is a thread on the forum explaining this but I am feeling to lazy to find it...

Search gives many similar topics: http://bbs.archlinux.org/search.php?sea … 1328525125
One of those must be the right one

Hmm, I suppose this is my own fault for not searching first.

The above thread is exactly what I needed.
