Hello,
Sorry for a second email, I just noticed a commit changing from db to db5.3 downgrading the version. [1]
I assume this is the cause of the incompatibility, and thus it was not the version bump, but the change in dependency.
The suggestion of warning users to regenerate their aliases.db and virtual.db remains, as postfix does not appear to function without doing this.
This has been reverted in postfix 3.8.5-2, so you may need to postmap your .db files again. (users not on [testing] won't have this issue) FYI: it's being considered to move away from Berkeley DB entirely, see: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/postfix/-/issues/3 So you may already want to look into cdb: or lmdb: alternatives.
