I don't think so: rpm -qa | grep db4
db4-4.2.52-3

there is a db4-4.1.25-8 further down in the list, but I'm pretty sure
that svn is not using that (because the rpm wouldn't install until I had
the 4.2 version in place).

no, I didn't try that - if I restore that tar file to a different path
name on the same system and try it, should that work (that is, does it
care what path it is at)?
