From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14 i686) Recently RH published updates to db3-3.1.17-5.i386.rpm, db3-devel-3.1.17-5.i386.rpm and db3-utils-3.1.17-5.i386.rpm. After performing these updates, perl's DB_File package broke. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create the executable file ./tmp/y containing: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use DB_File; print "It worked.\n"; 2.execute /tmp/y 3.observe the result Actual Results: DB_File needs compatible versions of libdb & db.h you have db.h version 3.1.14 and libdb version 3.1.17 Compilation failed in require at /tmp/y line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /tmp/y line 2. Expected Results: It worked. I also tried: cd /usr/include h2ph db.h h2ph db3/db.h without success.
If you download and install the recent DB_File CPAN module, it compiles with the newer db3 release and works. Perhaps RH should produce a db3_perl module and move the perl db code to there? When db3 is changed, the db3_perl module could also be updated ...
This was probably just oversight on RH's part, and the fact im sure they dont want to release a new version of perl when alls required is a recompilation. Easy solution is just use the perl source RPM and --rebuild and install that, After you've upgraded db3 of course. Solved my problems, Though an actual updated perl package would be nice..
