You presumably have a rogue copy of readline installed in /usr/local; please remove it. See comment:ticket:12040:4. We don't support having software installed in /usr/local when using MacPorts.

no includes or libraries in /usr/local:

Please try moving /usr/local aside (e.g. renaming it to /usr/local-off), then clean db46 and try again.

Same problem on Mavericks here. (After upgrading from Snow Leopard, the rebuild of db46 failed with this error, and almost every time I have installed or upgraded something in MacPorts it has been trying to upgrade db46 and failing.)

Removing

--enable-dump185

from configure.args solves the issue.

Some details:

Discovered that a /usr/include/db.h got installed by the OSX 10.9 SDK,

-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  7897 May 27 11:45:17 2014 /usr/include/db.h

May 27 11:45:03 installd[1472]: PackageKit: Extracting file://localhost/Volumes/Command%20Line%20Developer%20Tools/Packages/CLTools_Executables.pkg   
May 27 11:45:13 installd[1472]: PackageKit: Extracting file://localhost/Volumes/Command%20Line%20Developer%20Tools/Packages/MacOSX10_9_SDK.pkg
May 27 11:45:25 installd[1472]: PackageKit: update_dyld_shared_cache -overlay /var/folders/...

but that is not causing this problem with the db46 build. (It might have been there before the Mavericks upgrade too.) Also moved /usr/local aside by renaming it when trying to build, just to make sure nothing there interferes.

The compat185 variant also builds without the --enable-dump185, but building it by adding --enable-dump185 with

variant compat185 description {build with db185 compatibility mode} {
       configure.args-append   --enable-compat185 --enable-dump185

fails as originally.

Trying to access databases that are reported to be "Berkeley DB 1.85" with the compat185 variant built without --enable-dump185 doesn't work. db46_verify /etc/aliases.db fails for example. It is not clear to me how this is supposed to behave, though.

db46 @4.6.21_9+compat185+universal (active) platform='darwin 13' archs='i386 x86_64'

built without --enable-dump185:

# /usr/bin/file /etc/aliases.db 
/etc/aliases.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, big-endian)

# db46_verify /etc/aliases.db
db46_verify: /private/etc/aliases.db: unexpected file type or format
db46_verify: Page 0: metadata page corrupted

Portfile diff that allows build of db46 on Mavericks

[ajdudman]

I never installled readline in /usr/local. I got the same problem on Yosemite. I had port db_select installed and db46 selected. Then I ran

port select db none
port -suv upgrade db46

and I succeeded.

Could this have been the same issue as #47921?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Probably; reopen if not.
