You cannot switch BDB versions on a wallet that wasn't cleanly shut down on the prior version, I'd guess thats whats happening here.

As I understood it is a brand new instalation where the wallet.dat isn't even present yet and had to be created.

Adriano is right here.

running bitcoind_broken or non-stripped bitcoind executable as root OR user bitcoin (su - bitcoin -> ./bitcoind) make no difference.

Edit:
.bitcoin is NOT created if i run as root
.bitcoin IS created if i run as "bitcoin"

.bitcoin is probably being created on /root/.bitcoin when you run it as root (unless you define datadir on the command line)

yeah, you are right here again. missed that one.

.bitcoin is found in /root but it's contens look exactly like the "bitcoin" user dir.

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Nov 30 22:46 .
drwx------ 10 root root 4096 Dez 1 08:05 ..
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Nov 30 22:46 database

ALL the database directorys are empty.

If you remove the /home/bitcoind/.bitcoin/ and start bitcoind again, does it create again the same files as stated above?
Adriano

Code:

su - bitcoin
rm -r .bitcoin
./bitcoind

you get this:

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 4 bitcoin bitcoin 4096 Dez 1 08:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 bitcoin bitcoin 4096 Dez 1 08:35 ..
drwx------ 2 bitcoin bitcoin 4096 Dez 1 08:35 database
drwx------ 2 bitcoin bitcoin 4096 Dez 1 08:35 database.1385883348.bak
-rw------- 1 bitcoin bitcoin 102 Dez 1 08:35 db.log
-rw------- 1 bitcoin bitcoin 1264 Dez 1 08:35 debug.log
-rw------- 1 bitcoin bitcoin 0 Dez 1 08:35 .lock
-rw------- 1 bitcoin bitcoin 1106 Dez 1 08:35 peers.dat

I have just tried with https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/archive/0.8.6.zip on my system and it worked ok on debian 7.2 with libdb5.1

Can you try downloading it directly instead of cloning and see if there is any differences ?

will do soon.

Thx for your help!
