Source: firebird2.5
Version: 2.5.2~svn+54698.ds4-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream fixed-upstream patch

The current 2.5.2 snapshot uses internal index structure which is not 
compatible with databases created with 2.5.1. When using such databases it is 
possible that indexed searches return wrong results.

The only work around is to backup/restore the database or recreate indices, 
which is quote a burden with large databases.

Upstream has a fix which restores the correct indexed search with old 
databases.
