It sounds like maybe you have installed some other packages that depend on
db4-4.1 RPMS or something (????)

The db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm from the official RedHat 9 distribution is what
I'm using (no need for rpmfind). I *think* you should be able to install
that at the same time you have the db4-4.1 RPM installed. Don't do an
"upgrade", just do a normal "install" (rpm -ivh) of the db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm
from RedHat.

If that is not the case then we'll have to get more detailed information.
