I am getting some breakage reports.

Beware with this Berkeley DB release, if you are currently using
Berkeley DB 5.1.19.

If you use BDB 5.1.19 and upgrade to 5.1.25, the upgrade will overwrite
the old library. That should be OK if both libs were ABI compatible, and
they should be, but it seems that they are not.

If you upgrade to 5.1.25 from 5.1.19, you could get errors, even being
unable to open your current DB environments.

My recommendation to users of BDB 5.1.19 upgrading to 5.1.25 is to
recompile PYBSDDB again *AFTER* BDB 5.1.25 is installed. This should
solve the issue, although I haven't personally tested it.

Some details in
<http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2175221>.

If you have experience with this particular issue, please comment.
