Summary: db4 include not found

Initial Comment:
setup.py looks for the db4 library in /usr/lib, but
doesn't look for the header in /usr/include (as you
find it on Debian unstable)

yes, that's not correct

On Debian only one libdb-dev package can be installed at
build time. I assure with the build dependencies that I get
the correct one.

maybe grep for DB_VERSION_MAJOR in the file?

I admit, this issue should be a bug report, not a patch ...

Ok, I admit that the patch might be needed; I think it is
quite incorrect, though: 

- Doesn't it cause -I/usr/include be added to the
compilation statement?

- Why is that done for db4 and not db3?

- How can we know what bsddb version /usr/include/db.h
belongs to? Guessing that it is db4 is error-prone, so it
might be, in fact, better not to find that file.

Martin, you're closing reports very quickly ;-) What makes
you think the problem is solved? The code doesn't search
/usr/include for db.h.

Updated patch included.

The patch is out-of-date, and appears to be unnecessary. I'm
rejecting it - if you still think something needs to be
done, please submit a new patch.
