I was building apache2 package today (in attempt to upgrade to latest
release for pkgsrc). It failed with missing libdb4. It was not
buildlinked.

But work.rainier/.buildlink/bin/apu-config included -ldb4 in the LIBS.

I see that ../../devel/apr/buildlink3.mk has:

.if !empty(APR_USE_DB4:M[yY][eE][sS])
.  include "../../databases/db4/buildlink3.mk"

And I recalled that mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk was recently changed: "Make
APR_USE_DB4 default to NO everywhere".

rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/www/apache2$ make show-var VARNAME=APR_USE_DB4
NO

I have apr-0.9.5.2.0.51. I am running i386.

Why does my apu-config have LIBS="-ldb4 -lexpat" ??
