>Description:
postfix-current fails to build on my Slackware 9.1 box because libdb
can't be found.

*** Error code 1

I don't know why it is trying to link against libdb2 and libdb. this
system has no libdb, only libdb1 and libdb2 in base, libdb2 and libdb4
from pkgsrc.

I don't know why pkgsrc wants to use its own db2, but that could be
an unrelated issue.
