Hi,

My first question is why you want to upgrade db4 just for cyrus-imapd? Did
you have problems with the 4.0.14 package?
If you really want another db4 than the one from RedHat 9, you could edit
the .spec file and change the _dbver macro to fit your needs. Maybe you
should also change the line with
'--with-bdb-incdir=%{_includedir}/%{_dbver}' but I don't know, you have to
find out yourself.
