[OE-core] image build with python fails due to missing berkeley db 5.3

[Lewis, Nick]

My image build on yocto master fails reporting that python-bsddb cannot be installed as no package provides libdb-5.3.so. On examination it is evident that the "bitbake db" command builds BerkeleyDB 6.0 instead of 5.3

As an experiment I temporarily renamed the "recipe-support/db_6.0.30.bb" recipe in order to force the "recipe-support/db_5.3.28.bb" recipe to run (I guess there is a proper way to do this with preferred provider but I cannot remember how). The db_5.3.28.bb recipe ran but failed on missing include "#include <iostream.h>" in tmp/work/cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/db/5.3.28-r0/db-5.3.28/build_unix/db_cxx.h

As an experiment I added "#define HAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS" to the top of this file (I guess I should have made a patch or passed it from the recipe). The db_5.3.28.bb recipe then built okay and the image build stopped complaining about missing libdb-5.3 when installing python-bsddb

Does anyone else have this issue? Should python-bsddb be using BerkeleyDB 6.0 now?

Best Regards
Nick
