Description of problem: cyrus-sasl should require the same db4 version, even if cyrus- sasl is linked against the internal unthreaded db4. After this we would have the same (correct) requirement behaviour in this part like the pam package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-1 Actual results / Expected results: The line "Requires: db4 = %{db_version}" in the spec file.
Can you clarify your reasoning here? The only tools which should be accessing the sasldb are the sasldb plugin and the bundled command-line tools. API changes can make updating to a newer internalized version more complicated than a drop-in.
Oh Nalin...I opened this bug report nearly 1 year ago (!), IIRC at that time there was a good reason for it. At current, the bundled db4 has no requirements to an external db4, so the requirement isn't needed. I'll close this bug report now.
