I don't know what do you mean -- is there
anything special with 5.3.0?  Do you know
what kind of change can result in the issue?

Also, unable to verify.  bsddb3-5.3.0 builds
and installs with

  python setup.py install --berkeley-db=/usr/include

in both python2 venv and pypy venv (thus
it doesn't install through pip on my machine,
libdb-5.3.so), while bsddb3-6.2.4 gives the
issue I posted before

  library files in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
  library name is libdb-5.3
Detected Berkeley DB version 5.3 from db.h
running install
