Avahi @0.26_0+universal should require gdbm @1.8.3_2+universal, but doesn't.

Trying to build avahi initially I got this error:

checking for gdbm_open in -lgdbm... no
configure: error: *** libgdbm not found ***
shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_avahi/work/avahi-0.6.26" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-autoipd --disable-qt3 --disable-qt4 --disable-mono --disable-monodoc --with-distro=darwin --enable-compat-libdns_sd --disable-gtk3 " returned error 1

To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

But when I did:

sudo port install gdbm && sudo port install avahi

everything configured and built just fine.

Was the previously active version of gdbm installed using MacPorts >= 1.9? If so, what does port -v installed gdbm show?
