as part of the process of upgrading subversion on my FC1 system, i updated against the yum repository: http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/1.0.1/fedora/bin/ which seems to have caused some problems related to the version of libdb being used. what i also got from that repository were a couple new RPMs related to libdb: db42 and db42-devel. i didn't think much of it at the time, but these RPMs seem to clash with the RPMs you find in rawhide. rawhide contains the RPMs db4-4.2.52-3.1 db4-devel-4.2.52-3.1 while, from the subversion repo, i got and installed db42-4.2.52-0.1 db42-devel-4.2.52-0.1 currently, on my system, i now have the subversion repo RPMs, as well as the originals, for a grand total of installed db4-related RPMs: db4-4.1.25-14 db4-devel-4.1.25-14 db42-4.2.52-0.1 db42-devel-4.2.52-0.1 now, when i try to do a "yum update" (without including rawhide in my yum.conf file), i get Package python needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available. Package cyrus-sasl needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available. Package sendmail needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available. Package webalizer needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.

Package php needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available. Package perl needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available. Package mod_perl needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available. Package openoffice.org-libs needs libdb_cxx-4.1.so, this is not available. Package openoffice.org needs libdb_cxx-4.1.so, this is not available. i'm really regretting having installed those libdb RPMs from the subversion repo but that subversion repo updated a lot of other packages as well, like apr-util, httpd, etc. before getting into this any deeper, has anyone else updated from that summersoft repo? comments? rday
