Please put a meaningful summary next time, "Gramps" doesn't tell us anything about what the issue is.

The bug report page even gives you an example about what is a bad summary:

"Summary: A sentence that summarizes the problem. Please be descriptive and use lots of keywords.

Bad example: mail crashed
Good example: crash in Evolution while checking for new POP mail"

Summary: Gramps => Can't open gramps database from version 4.1.1 with version 5 due to outdated bsddb

Comment 3 Rémi Verschelde 2015-07-03 16:19:37 CEST
According to the warning, the bsddb version in gramps 5 is 5.3.28. You don't need to update bsddb, you just need to allow gramps to upgrade your own database which was created with bsddb 5.3.21.

This does not look like a bug to me. Just make a backup of your database, and try what gramps proposes you.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

I've tried your solution.
It works fine.
You are right, it's not a Bug !
Thank you.
