Well this was nmy fault, since I generated the RPMs in a system with an old version
of gnome-print (the one that comes with Mandrake 6.0). It's because of this that
maybe you can't find it, but it really doesn't matter, right now gnome-db makes use
of gnome-print just for the printer dialog, which AFAIK is the same for all
realeases. So,

ln -s /usr/lib/libgnomeprint.so.2 /usr/lib/libgnomeprint.so.1
rpm -Uvh --nodeps gnome-db.....rpm

did work yesterday on a RH 6.1 machine, so please try it.

Cheers
