It could be that /usr/lib/sasl2/libsasldb.la lists /usr/lib/libdb-4.2.la
as a dependency_libs. libdb-4.2.la may or may not be installed (it's in
libdb4.2-devel which I don't have installed) and if it's missing libltdl
might be "confused".

If that's indeed the case, is it easy to add the needed dependency to
the libsasl2-devel package?

But I'm out on a limb here...

Cheers,
Peter
