------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 apu-1-config which is installed with apr-util reports the following with
 the older, 1.3.4, version for libs:
 {{{
 $ apu-1-config --libs
   -ldb-4.6 -lexpat -liconv
 }}}
 The new 1.3.7 version doesn't list the db-4.6 library however:
 {{{
 $ apu-1-config --libs
   -lexpat -liconv
 }}}
 Due to the way subversion uses apu-1-config to learn about linking to
 Berkeley DB, this causes subversion's configure to now fail:
 {{{
 appending configuration tag "F77" to libtool
 checking whether libtool needs -no-undefined... no
 checking whether to avoid circular linkage at all costs... no
 checking for trang... none
 checking for socket in -lsocket... no
 checking for availability of Berkeley DB... no
 configure: error: Berkeley DB 4.0.14 or newer wasn't found.
 }}}
 This also affects the other subversion-* ports.  Attaching a patch for
 subversion which works around this, the same idea should work for the
 other subversion-related ports.

 I think this may be an upstream issue with subversion's configure and the
 change in apr-util, but am not positive.
