Can you or he give examples of why one would want that? It would be a
nuisance, because one would have to decide on some naming convention, so
that multiple versions could be installed together. Do Linux
distributions ship multiple versions of bdb?

Is there some special reason why you are working on this package, given
that oi-sfe already delivers it and the "Before adding new packages to
oi-build" remark in
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+with+oi-build ?

Since oi-sfe uses IPS, packages built with oi-build can depend on
packages from oi-sfe.

I updated pkg://sfe/database/bdb to 5.2.36, to be up to date with
respect to the spec.
