"bsddb3" doesn't support Oracle Berkeley DB 18.1.x. "bsddb3" is legacy
and I don't plan any new release.

The package has been renamed to "berkeleydb" and development continues
there. Version 18.1.0 was released a week ago, and it supports Oracle
Berkeley DB 18.1.x.

Please, install "berkeleydb" and let me know it it detects correctly
Oracle Berkeley DB 18.1.x in your system.

Be aware of two things:

- "berkeleydb" supports only Python >= 3.6. What Python3 version are
your using?

- Upgrading from "bsddb3" to "berkeleydb" is not transparent, but the
process should be quite trivial.

Some details:

Changelog
https://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm#berkeleydb-18.1.0

Thanks for letting me know that Oracle released a 18.1.x Berkeley DB
library. It seems like I am not in the Oracle notify list about new
releases anymore.
