You can find some info about bitcoin Berkeley DB v4.8 dependency from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=502482.0

Thanks for the link to that thread, RedDiamond. I just read through it and I'd say I'm basically caught up on the issues at play. I'm hoping that they either start shipping their own C for berkely db (as gmaxwell suggested they would once distros stop carrying it at all) or move to another solution soon. It's silly to have to add old repos in order to build an up-to-date software package.
