libdb.so.3 has nothing to do with libdb3. libdb.so.3 is library interface version 3 of the db (i.e. db1) library; libdb3 provides libdb3.so.3, which is library interface version 3 of the db3 library. They're very different as far as the dynamic linker is concerned, even if the whole situation is a bit confusing. He needs to upgrade libdb2 (where /lib/libdb.so.3 isn't a symlink, incidentally ...). -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
