I got that last posting WRONG. These libraries have nothing to do with
the debugger, gdb, but rather with the gnu-data-base-management, gdbm,
routines for use with C programs. There is both a man page and an info
file, /usr/info/gdbm.info.gz, on my Slackware 3.2 system. My guess is
that it is safe to remove libdbm-, but you might read the documentation on
the gdbm subroutines first.
Good Luck,
