After wrangling with Sendmail some more...I've decided to repost this
one from a few days back.

OK,

I've always had a bugger working with sendmail, but I had almost
immediate success when I experimented with postfix. Postfix however
isn't included with RH7.2 W/S.

I found an SRPM for postifix built by redhat, but it needs 'db4-devel'
to build.  Which was available from the same spot as the Postfix rpms. 
So I built all the db4 rpms, which obsolete/conflict with the installed
db3 packages already there.

db4-devel conflicts with db3-devel: (Sorry 'bout the wrap)

# [root@innie i386]# rpm -ivh --test ./db4-devel-4.0.14-2.i386.rpm 
# Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
# file /lib/libdb.so from install of db4-devel-4.0.14-2\
        conflicts with file from package db3-devel-3.2.9-4
# file /usr/include/db.h from install of db4-devel-4.0.14-2\
        conflicts with file from package # db3-devel-3.2.9-4
# file /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.so from install of db4-devel-4.0.14-2\
        conflicts with file from package  db3-devel-3.2.9-4

I can't remove db3 without causing problems:

# [root@innie root]# rpm -e --test db3       
# error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
#         db3 = 3.2.9 is needed by db3-devel-3.2.9-4
#         db3 = 3.2.9 is needed by db3-utils-3.2.9-4
#         libdb-3.2.so   is needed by perl-5.6.0-17
#         libdb-3.2.so   is needed by sendmail-8.11.6-3
#         libdb-3.2.so   is needed by python-1.5.2-35
#         libdb-3.2.so   is needed by nss_ldap-172-2
#         libdb-3.2.so   is needed by php-4.0.6-7
#         libdb-3.2.so   is needed by db3-utils-3.2.9-4
#         libdb-3.2.so   is needed by apache-1.3.22-2
#         libdb-3.2.so   is needed by pam-0.75-19

So, my question is:

Can I safely force the db4-devel rpm to overwrite the db3-files it
conflicts with?

If not, what to do?  [ Please don't say "learn sendmail" ;) ]
