I had the same problem, and I "fixed" it by just removing the db3-devel
package. I don't know if your distro works in the same way, but in RedHat
the db3 rpm contains libdb-3.3.so, and alls apps refer to that lib. The
db3-devel rpm contains a soft link from libdb.so to libdb-3.3.so and
libdb.a, but those files are only needed if you are going to compile and
link new programs.

It's not a perfect solution, but it beats renaming files while compiling
subversion (which I too did at first).
