Package: libdb4.3-dev
Version: 4.3.27-1

/usr/include/db.h says (to the mainteners?) :

/*
 * !!!
 * Berkeley DB uses specifically sized types.  If they're not provided by
 * the system, typedef them here.
 *
 * We protect them against multiple inclusion using __BIT_TYPES_DEFINED__,
 * as does BIND and Kerberos, since we don't know for sure what #include
 * files the user is using.
 *
 * !!!
 * (...)
 */

But the reserved space for these definitions is left blank.
So that gcc fail to compile this simple test :

$ cat > /tmp/test.db.c
#include <db.h>
^D
$ gcc --std=c99 -c tdb.c
errors !!

This works without specifying std=c99 or with std=gnu99 because of gcc additions.

Shouldn't trivials typedefs be added right into db.h ?

The db4.3 package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/515553 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.

Kind regards,
