+db4 (Berkeley database library version 4.6.x)
+
+The Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) library provides embedded database
+support for both traditional and client/server applications.
+
+This package should be installed if compatibility is needed with
+databases created with the Berkeley DB version 4.6.x.
+
+Note that the resulting package will overwrite some symlinks included
+in Slackware's db44 package; this shouldn't cause any problems, but
+in case you remove this package for whatever reason, you'll need to
+reinstall db44, and anything that linked db46 will no longer work.
