The current database is pretty messed up.
If you have all the BDB logfiles available since your recent backup, I would
restore the recent backup, copy across the logfiles from the broken
repository, and run "db_recover -c".
Note, for this to work, the broken repository must contain logfiles reaching
back to when the backup was made.
Example by numbers:
The backup contains highest log number log.0000000108
The live repos must contain all the log files back to _and_ including
log.0000000108, and you must copy all of them, including log.0000000108,
into the restored backup (overwriting the log.0000000108 in the backup).
For more detail, see the BDB manual.
Max.
