Description:

The postfix package doesn't have a version constraint on the db package, but fails to start if the proper version of libdb is not installed.

sudo postfix start
postfix: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

pacman -Qi postfix | grep Depends
Depends On : pcre libsasl libmysqlclient postgresql-libs>=8.4 libldap>=2.4 db

Earlier versions of the postfix package (2.7.1-1, e.g.) had the version dependency:

pacman -Qi postfix | grep Depends
Depends On : pcre libsasl libmysqlclient postgresql-libs>=8.4 libldap>=2.4 db>=4.8

Additional info:
* postfix 2.7.2-1

You should fully update your system. The versioned dependency is omited to make sure you don't break your complete system when you don't update your system.
