RefDB 0.9.6 was released on 2005-11-16. It requires libdbi-0.8.1 or greater, and that library's associated drivers from libdbi-drivers. I think the following line will be sufficient to express that dependency: BUILD_DEPENDS+= dbi>=0.8.1:${PORTSDIR}/databases/libdbi
State Changed From-To: open->feedback Although your intent to use versioned dependencies is honorable, it'll mean that LIB_DEPENDS is incomplete (missing libdbi). Unfortunately, I don't see an easy fix. I'd say let's go for a regular LIB_DEPENDS again since running with stale dependencies is never really supported.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->vs I'll track this.
State Changed From-To: feedback->suspended We are actively trying to solve this The Right Way really soon now.
State Changed From-To: suspended->closed Band-aid committed as discussed. Let's fix libdbi next. Apologies for not getting back to this sooner.
