Details

When running wvdial I get:

"wvdial: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Got it working by making a:

"ln -s /usr/lib/libdb-4.5.so /usr/lib/libdb-4.4.so"

The package need to be recompiled to use the new libdb or libdb package need to create a symbolic link, (i think the first is best, for non retro-compatible lib? )

This task depends upon
