switching from the db4 to the file system/database...

[bruce <be...@earthlink.net>]

hey...

i just modifed some things with subversion. i'm using gforge and and i get
the following from the ViewCVS portion...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/viewcvs/lib/viewcvs.py", line 3394, in main
    request.run_viewcvs()
  File "/viewcvs/lib/viewcvs.py", line 268, in run_viewcvs
    self.rootpath, rev)
  File "/viewcvs/lib/vclib/svn/__init__.py", line 342, in __init__
    self.repos = repos.svn_repos_open(rootpath, self.pool)
SubversionException: ('Bad database version: compiled with 4.2.52, running
against 4.3.27', 160000)

does anybody have any idea as to what's the cause....?

i'm running fedora core 3, subversion-1.1.4-1, python-2.3.4, db4-4.3.27

is it a subversion db issue.. ?
is it possibly python related....
is it possibly ViewCVS?

(it appears to be a db issue)

comments/thoughts/opinions/etc would be helpful.

also, if it is a db issue, is there a way to rectify it? also, is there a
way to get away from the db4, and use the filesystem approach for
subversion... given that the fs approach should be one less thing i'd have
to deal with going forward... it's a b* when you're dealing with
dependencies...


thanks

Sounds like there are multiple Berkeley DB libraries installed on the
machine and that Subversion is picking up a different version than the
one against which it was compiled (or configured).

Try ldconfig -v to see if the right library is getting picked up.

I'm not sure if it's feasible to do an strace on ViewCVS. If it is,
'strace -f' will show the exact library that is being picked up. You may
also be able to do 'strace -fp <pid-of-ViewCVS>' to attach to a running
ViewCVS and then run your command in another window to see which BDB
library is getting picked up.

To point to the right library, modify /etc/ld.so.conf or add a
BerkeleyDB-specific file in ld.so.conf.d, to point to the right version.

The recipe is:
dump repository to dumpfile
mv repos aside
create repos with same name, but with --fs-type fsfs
load into repos from the dumpfile

You can rule out ViewCVS -- it doesn't have any compiled portions.
You're getting an error generated by Subversion itself, coming out as
a SubversionException through the Subversion Python bindings, and with
the obvious complaint.

I'm guessing that your Subversion package is using a shared-library
build constructed against 4.2.52, but it's finding your db4-4.3.27
package at runtime, and complaining.
