Well, with glibc 2.1.93 on the way into woody, you will all need to note
that db/db2 are not in glibc anymore. For now, libdb2 will be supplying
the symlinks required to keep packages compiled against glibc's db/db2

before,
Just a heads up, the nss_db module is going away from glibc. It was split
from glibc upstream, and will be packaged seperately from now on. For a

nss_db module, until I get that package done. If you use this module...
