db1 -> db2

Hello,

With glibc 2.1, we have libdb2. I always thought, that libdb2 could
read databases created with libdb1, and convert it if you write to
it.
This seems not to be true, if I recompile programs using db_185.h and
linking them against libdb2, this programs couldn't read any longer
their old databases. 
Is it really necessary to rebuild all the databases ?

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
