[pkg-db-devel] Bug#675611: libdb5.1-dev: no way to install libdb4.x-dev in parallel

[Toni Mueller]

Package: libdb5.1-dev
Version: no way to install libdb4.x-dev in parallel
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

it is frequently necessary to have several -dev packages installed
together, eg. since they may be build-dependencies of various packages.
It would be nice if you could make it happen so that satisfying one
build dependency does not break the build-dependencies of another
package.

TIA!

Kind regards,
--Toni++
