Fixed at revision 7695.

[Ag. Hatzimanikas]

We apply the " Python-2.6.1-gdbm-1.patch" to fix a build issue with gdbm (according with the headers), but I can't reproduce the error, see:

building 'gdbm' extension
gcc -pthread -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I/tmp/Python-2.6.1/./Include -I. -IInclude -I./Include -I/usr/local/include -I/tmp/Python-2.6.1/Include -I/tmp/Python-2.6.1 -c /tmp/Python-2.6.1/Modules/gdbmmodule.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/tmp/Python-2.6.1/Modules/gdbmmodule.o

Reopening for confirmation.

When I do it without the patch, the end of the make gives:

Failed to build these modules: dbm

With the patch the dbm module is built.

[Ag. Hatzimanikas]

Ah ok, so you don't have gdbm installed.

In any case, the name of the patch and the headers are misleading.

"Description: Fixes Python build issue with gdbm"

Note that upstream gives precedence to gdbm over bdb (if both are found).

[bdubbs@…]

But I do have gdbm installed. If I didn't there wouldn't be a need for the patch. The description is accurate AFAICT.
