>Description:
It is accepted amongst the OpenLDAP community that OpenLDAP should not use BDB 4.3, as the former triggers bugs in the latter. I have made the porters aware of this issue several times, yet OpenLDAP 2.3 continues to list BDB 4.3 as a requirement, thus doing a dis-service to users not familiar with this fact. Please change this dependancy to BDB 4.2.
