Strange timestamps above: Sep  1 16:01
Those symlinks are created by the /install/doinst.sh scripts in the
packages. But according to the timestamps below you installed the
packages on Sep 27 at 15:30 (db42), 15:31 (db44) and 15:33 (db48).

Yes, this looks like bugs in both the db44 and db48 packages. Most
symlinks created in the /install/doinst.sh scripts in both packages
replace each other with different targets (4.4 vs 4.8 variants).
The final result depends on the order in which the packages are
installed. So I think most of the symlinks in the db44 package should
be removed (compare /install/doinst.sh in the db42 package).
The db48 package should create a symlink /usr/include/db4 -> db48.

I think you should report this to Patric.

Still wondering from where you got those "Sep  1 16:01" timestamps
in /usr/include. Did you reinstall the packages between cutting/pasting
the different directory listings above?

Regards,

Kees.
