Description Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-06-23 16:02:08 UTC

The current RPM build has a db dependency that is too strict
(same goes for gnorpm).

db-3.2.9 is a plug-in replacement for db 3.2.3h (sans the scary bugs),
and works fine with rpm (in fact, it's what Redhat uses, and I've been using
3.2.9 for months now, no trouble.)
