Hi Marco,

Yes, it is a known issue caused by some cpan mirrors.
However, it is recommended by the pkg-perl group to use the following
style of addresses that are author-independent:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/BerkeleyDB/

They not only keep working even when the maintainer changes at cpan,
but it also works fine on all cpan mirrors (solving the problem seen
on DEHS).

My recommendation is to switch.

Cheers,
