Author: Steve Langasek Description: don't second-guess BDB ABI OpenLDAP upstream conservatively assumes that any change to the version number of libdb can result in an API-breaking change that could impact the database. In Debian, we know that such changes require bumping the library soname and changing the package name, and demand such rigor from our package maintainers even when upstreams don't deliver; so any such check in the source code works against the packaging system by forcing database upgrades when we know none are required. Disable this check so we rely on the packaging system to do its job.
