[Pkg-db-devel] libdb4.0-util recommended but missing

[Bob Proulx]

I am not subscribed to pkg-db-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.  Please
CC me on replies.

libdb4.0-util is recommended by perl but does not seem to exist in the
archive anymore.  Could someone clue me in as to why it was removed?
Or perhaps it was just replaced with something different?

In the perl changelog:

    * NOTE: DB_File now uses libdb4.0 (previously libdb2).  Any DB_File
      databases created with earlier perl packages will need to be
      upgraded before being used with the current module with the
      db4.0_upgrade program (in the libdb4.0-util package, with HTML docs
      in db4.0-doc).

SpamAssassin uses this for the bayes database.  I am trying to smooth
an upgrade from woody to sarge.  What is the current recommendation
for updating databases from woody to sarge?

Note that I am aware of snapshot.debian.net's archive of the last
libdb4.0-util package.  It still exists there.
