I'm curious as why you are having to "force" the db42 package. I changed
it from db4-4.2.52 to db42-4.2.52 specifically so people wouldn't
accidentally upgrade their db4-4.1.25 packages. You shouldn't have to
force it. Did you try it without forcing it? If so, what was the result?

I'm using it with no (known) problems for the last week or so. Still more
work to do for the next release, though.
