Just tested building latest 6.1.0-beta1 (Slackware Linux), builds without errors and seems to run OK (haven’t, of course, tested each and every function). Thanks to the devs, looking forward to the stable release.

Yes, python-bsddb3 is the abandoned python binding that stopped working reliably when I tested it several years ago with the python 3.10 included with the Gnome runtime at Flathub.
