After some investigation, I think I agree. There's a whole mess of db
versions and symbolic links to db versions in /lib:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       788401 Jan 15 10:49 libdb-2.1.3.so

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Sep 26  2000 libdb1.so.2 ->
libdb1-2.1.3.so

and /usr/lib

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      3684062 Jan 15 10:49 libdb.a

As you can see, /usr/lib/libdb.so links to a version 2 binary. How any
of this ever works is a mystery. And there's only one db package in my
rpm database, db3 (which got there as a side-effect of updating to rpm
4.0.x via the RC RH channel).
