the right next step?

Hi John!

Well, I've sent my suggestion to the maintainer -- I don't know if
it's the *right* fix for the general port.  But, it works for me as a
workaround.

For what it's worth, in this particular case, I've simply asked that
the www/apache22 port be made compatible with (aware of?) the now
standard, port-installed Berkeley DB version 4.6.

Ok, Thanks.

Well, I guess I'll just have to see.

Seems to me that apache22 + bdb46, both being in the ports tree and
both being rather 'popular', that *someone* else would be interested
as well.  But, apparently, not (yet).

Thanks a lot!
