Just an fyi to the list - Ubuntu 12.04 should have both libdb 4.8 and libdb
5.1 available including dev packages for both.  At the time the HowTo for
installing Xastir in 12.04 was written, Xastir didn't support libdb 5.1
yet, so the instructions correctly installed libdb 4.8.  Xastir compiled
from CVS worked fine for me using libdb4.8 when I was running Ubuntu 12.04.
 So unless something has changed with respect to what Berkeley packages are
available for Ubuntu 12.04, it isn't necessary to use libdb version 5.1.
 Given 12.04 is the long term support version, I guess I can't rule out a
change that could have been made that eliminated the version 4.8 packages,
but I doubt that's the case.

Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04, however, are a different story.  There are no
version 4.x packages for libdb in either Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04, and that's
what contributed to the code change in Xastir to support libdb 5.1.
