No, it would be right because when the build for security/amavisd-new
calls for the build of databases/p5-BerkleyDB, the WITH_BDB_VER
variable is set in the environment for database/p5-BerkleyDB and cause
the dependancy to be set on the correct version of Berkley DB port.

It's similar, but not equivalent because when the security/amavisd-new
then goes to record it's dependancies on the databases/p5-BerkleyDB
port. Using portupgrade and portmanager, security/amavisd-new
+CONTENT shows db3 as dependancy, were as the /etc/make.conf entry
will show a +CONTENT dependacy on db42.

The incorrect dependency is being reported from databases/p5-BerkleyDB
to the security/amavisd-new port. Which then records the incorrect
dependancy in the +CONTENT file. By using the WITH_BDB_VER as either
a global variable or using '.if ${.CURDIR} =3D=3D
/usr/ports/database/p5-BerkleyDB' in /etc/make.conf will fix the
dependancy for security/amavisd-new.
Each time make is called the /etc/make.conf file is re-evaluated.=20
Since the security/amavisd-new port calls cd
/usr/ports/database/p5-BerkleyDB ; make install (from bsd.port.mk),
the /etc/make.conf file is re-evaluated, and WITH_BDB_VER is set.
