Hi @Nick-Hall @prculley and jralls You’ve all been working hard on resolving the bsddb3 stumbling block with Gramps 5.2 beta 1 AIO port. After spending some time figuring out what exactly is going on with the bsddb3 package not being available on MSYS2, and also how berkeleydb is different from bsd…

That’s unfortunate. It looks like we can’t get the build script provided in PR #1444 to install the bsddb backend.

I also see that in the installer, the component selector only shows Translations, and the old one shows Translations and Dictionaries. And in my test, the old one is 5.1.5-1. For the old o…

… and what’s odd: When I run that same installer in Wine (inside LMDE 5) it crashes at the end, but the installed Gramps does speak Dutch, even though there is that same lone gramps.mo in the Dutch LC_MESSAGES folder, and in the British one too.
