Bug Description

= SRU Report =
== Impact ==
Anyone upgrading sks will run into a postinst failure. This has been the case for a few releases, but this isn't a very widely deployed application, and probably only deployed on LTSs.

The package version to BDB version mapping was specific to Debian. It differs in Ubuntu.

Also worth noting that I've requested backporting 1.1.3. LP: #1020098

== Test Case ==
* apt-get install sks
* Install a dump (see README.Debian, one .pgp file is fine)
* apt-get install --reinstall sks (an upgrade to the same version)

== Regression Potential ==
* Not significant.

= Original Report =
The list of BDB_VERSIONs in postinst isn't correct for Ubuntu. This won't be a problem in the far future, as this information now comes from a file generated at build time.

But it is an issue for upgrades at the moment.

This bug was fixed in the package sks - 1.1.3-1ubuntu1

---------------
sks (1.1.3-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Provide OLD_BDB versions for Ubuntu (LP: #1020034)
  * Create /var/lib/sks/berkeley_db.active even when we aren't upgrading BDB
    versions.
  * Include pagesize and ptree_pagesize in sksconf, so that importing a dump
    won't hang (LP: #1019756)

/usr/lib/sks/berkeley_db.txt is empty, it wasn't in my local build.

This warrants further investigation. Please reject this for now.

---------------
sks (1.1.1+dpkgv3-7ubuntu0.2) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Look for ^.i not ^ii in libdbX.Y-dev packages for BDB_VERSION. And assert
    that we have a value (LP: #1021650)

sks (1.1.1+dpkgv3-7ubuntu0.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Provide OLD_BDB versions for Ubuntu, so that Berkeley DB upgrades will
    be performed on the right upgrades (LP: #1020034)
  * Create /var/lib/sks/berkeley_db.active even when we aren't upgrading BDB
    versions, so that we'll rely less on heuristics in the future.
