Comment (by mp@…):

 Same problem on Mavericks here. (After upgrading from Snow Leopard, the
 rebuild of `db46` failed with this error, and almost every time I have
 installed or upgraded something in MacPorts it has been trying to upgrade
 `db46` and failing.)

 Removing
 {{{
 --enable-dump185
 }}}
 from `configure.args` solves the issue.

 Some details:

 Discovered that a {{{/usr/include/db.h}}} got installed by the OSX 10.9
 SDK,
 {{{
 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  7897 May 27 11:45:17 2014 /usr/include/db.h

 May 27 11:45:03 installd[1472]: PackageKit: Extracting
 file://localhost/Volumes/Command%20Line%20Developer%20Tools/Packages/CLTools_Executables.pkg
 May 27 11:45:13 installd[1472]: PackageKit: Extracting
 file://localhost/Volumes/Command%20Line%20Developer%20Tools/Packages/MacOSX10_9_SDK.pkg
 May 27 11:45:25 installd[1472]: PackageKit: update_dyld_shared_cache
 -overlay /var/folders/...
 }}}
 but that is not causing this problem with the `db46` build. (It might have
 been there before the Mavericks upgrade too.) Also moved `/usr/local`
 aside by renaming it when trying to build, just to make sure nothing there
 interferes.

 The {{{compat185}}} variant also builds without the {{{--enable-
 dump185}}}, but building it by adding {{{--enable-dump185}}} with
 {{{
 variant compat185 description {build with db185 compatibility mode} {
        configure.args-append   --enable-compat185 --enable-dump185
 }}}
 fails as originally.

 Trying to access databases that are reported to be "Berkeley DB 1.85" with
 the `compat185` variant built without `--enable-dump185` doesn't work.
 {{{db46_verify /etc/aliases.db}}} fails for example. It is not clear to me
 how this is supposed to behave, though.
 {{{
 db46 @4.6.21_9+compat185+universal (active) platform='darwin 13'
 archs='i386 x86_64'
 }}}
 built without `--enable-dump185`:
 {{{
 # /usr/bin/file /etc/aliases.db
 /etc/aliases.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, big-endian)

 # db46_verify /etc/aliases.db
 db46_verify: /private/etc/aliases.db: unexpected file type or format

 }}}
