You don't have to remove and reinstall db and db-devel rpm's, there is
an easier way.

1. install db42 and db42-devel
2. edit /usr/include/db.h, that is change '#include <db/db.h> to
   '#include <db42/db.h> 
3. change to /usr/lib, respectively /usr/lib/tls
4. remove the symlinks libdb.so and libdb-4.so
5. create symlinks libdb-4.2.so -> libdb.so libdb-4.so
