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

I installed db4-4.1.25 to resolve dependiencies so I could install the
cyrus packages. If I try to remove it, I get:

[root at mail SPECS]# rpm -e db4-4.1.25-4
error: Failed dependencies:
        libdb-4.1.so is needed by (installed) cyrus-sasl-2.1.18-1
        libdb-4.1.so is needed by (installed) cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-8
        libdb-4.1.so is needed by (installed) cyrus-imapd-utils-2.2.3-8

I am not sure what to do with the lines in the spec file, I'm having
trouble finding documentation on it. Is there any way to revert back to
the cyrus-imapd-2.1 pacjkages? I'll try again after I have a better
understanding of the spec file.

Thanks again!
