[Pkg-db-devel] Bug#524969: libdb4.7-java: Unable to install Java bindings for different BDB versions

[Janusz Dziemidowicz]

Package: libdb4.7-java
Version: 4.7.25-6
Severity: important

Currently, each libdb4.x-java package provides libdb-java, but also
conflicts on libdb-java. So it is impossible to install two versions
of Java bindings together. This seems weird, as we can have different
versions of libdb4.x installed on the system. Also, Java bindings
contain files that have version number embedded in their names
(libdb_java-4.x.so and libdb4.5-java.jar), so it seems that there
should be no problem installing different versions.
