I agree this has become an RPM issue rather than NetWorker issue. So any
further details on the installing db and rpm v3 will be discussed on another

Just one last note: Installing db 1.85 and rpm v3 from source has proved to
be quite difficult, so I have decided to give Red Hat 6.2 solution a go.

Thanks for the advice.
