Upgrading to cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-8 using Simon's RPM's

[Edward Rudd]

You could try rpm -e db4-4.1.25-4 db4-devel-4.1.25-4 --nodeps
then make sure that db4-4.0.14 and db4-devel-4.0.14 are installed from
RH9 and then rebuild cyrus-sasl, install it and then install cyrus-imapd
you may need to remove all of the cyrus-sasl cyrus-imapd with --nodeps
to make sure everything gets installed as the correct version after
rebuilding.
