I believe, that if you do such a major DB4 upgrade, you should undump the
mboxlist first, upgrade and reimport (all done with ctl_mboxlist) it.
Depending on your installation you might also need to recreate other files
(such as seen-state or duplicate db).

I had a similar problem with upgrading from DB 4.1 to DB 4.2. And now (yes,
Fedora user) I had the problem with upgrading from 4.2 to 4.3 - was a RPM
upgrade.

But I guess it might be better to wait for DB4.3 support by Cyrus, since we
do not know what else will happen. If you have the time to do testing and
your mailserver is not that important, you might try it... :-)

Best, 
 Oliver
