Does anybody have advice on how this should be dealt with when
somebody has installed libdb 2.7.5 or any other version > 1.85?

I see unsatisficing incompatibilities. At least the RPM version of
pdbtool dumps core with my libdb 2.7.5 and so I cannot talk to codasrv
at all.

FWIW, not only the author of libdb, Keith Bostic warns against 1.85
because it has virtually unfixable bugs. I think, Eric Allman has
encountered some of them and for sure Ulrich Pfeifer. So I have
decided to abandon it and overwrite it with the incompatible libdb
2.x.x. I recompiled sendmail and thought that would do.

I'll try to compile the whole coda from scratch and see how far I get,
but I thought, I should raise the question now to get some advice
before I fiddle too much.
