20 Unmerge it anyway and then rebuild iproute2. It seems like an automagic
21 dep. It should not be using db when the berkdb USE flag is not set.
22 Since it does, it's a bug.
23
24 However, rebuilding it after unmerging db should fix it.
25
26 With that being said, do a "quickpkg sys-libs/db" first to get a tarball
27 backup, just to be safe if you need to restore it.
