[Solved] urlplot + db.h + libdb

Question

urlplot is an irssi script that catches posted url links in IRC channels in irssi and puts them in an html file. After db upgrade and the db_upgrade advice from here (which I don't think should have made any difference), I get this error when I try to load the script.
20:22 -!- Irssi: Error in script urlplot:
20:22
20:22 DB_File needs compatible versions of libdb & db.h
20:22 you have db.h version 4.6.19 and libdb version 4.6.21
20:22 Compilation failed in require at (eval 18) line 230.
20:22 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 18) line 230.
My db.h:
* Berkeley DB version information.
#define DB_VERSION_MAJOR 4
#define DB_VERSION_MINOR 6
#define DB_VERSION_PATCH 21
#define DB_VERSION_STRING "Berkeley DB 4.6.21: (September 27, 2007)"
I've tried renaming the /usr/include/db.h and /usr/lib/libdb.a but it still gives me that error. I'm guessing it has something to do with DB_File pointing somewhere else, but I don't know perl . If you guys could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
Edit: Nevermind. Upgrade to the latest perl 5.8.8-8 fixed the problem.
'upgpkg: don't remove empty dirs, it breaks installation of perl. added coreutils as depend because of ln usage in .install file'

Answer 1

stephane : I did try to rebuild postgrey too, albeit just a perl script. 
Got if fixed, by rolling back the following packages :
core/db => 5.2.28-1
community/perl-berkeleydb => 0.43-6
community/postgrey => 1.34-2
I used the packages that were in /var/cache/pacman/pkg Of course I had to remove all postgrey, amavid-new & perl-berkeleydb before I downgraded core/db to 5.2.28-1.  Once I had done that reinstalled all of the other packages both amavisd-new and postfix started without the BerkeleyDB & Incompatible versions of libdb & db.h error.
I guess I need to file a bug now.
