The uidnew sieve extension in mailutils-3.20 needs a place to store data. However, it is unconditionally built and linked against libmu_dbm even when DBM support is explicitly disabled:
./configure --without-berkeley-db --without-gdbm && make [...] CC uidnew.lo make[4]: *** No rule to make target '../../libmu_dbm/libmu_dbm.la', needed by 'uidnew.la'. Stop. The following patch makes uidnew dependant on DBM support: --- a/libmu_sieve/extensions/Makefile.am 2025-08-11 16:25:13.850209754 +0200 +++ b/libmu_sieve/extensions/Makefile.am 2025-08-11 16:35:28.312393817 +0200 @@ -15,17 +15,23 @@ ## along with GNU Mailutils.
