I have fixed this problem with the detection of the db3 library, I just
added a
check for db3 to configure.in.

After I corrected the db3 problem, I was unable to reproduce the failure to
create the sasldb file.  I have made sure that this file is not in
/usr/local/etc before the install.  What was the error during the install?
Was it:

saslpasswd: generic failure
saslpasswd: user not found

These two errors can be ignored, the first is caused by a non-existent/bad
sasldb file.  While the second is caused by the deletion of the cyrus user
from the sasldb file (i.e pkg-install creates & removes this user only if
sasldb doesn't exist).

Did it get to registering cyrus-sasl or did it give an error?
