Documentation forgets to refer to bdb 4.8?

[greenmo000]

In Step 2 of the HOWTO.md,

$ sudo apt-get install make g++ python-leveldb libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev pkg-config libevent-dev

If I did it like that then I would end up with bdb 5+, wouldn't I?

Instead I believe the user should add the bitcoin ppa and install bdb 4.8 from it.

Oh, apparently it just affects the wallet. Would it not affect blockchain bootstrap files made then?

newer versions of bitcoin core (0.13.x) require libdb+ it seems, not sure what's wrong with having bdb 5+.
