Hi .rp,

Two thinks to suggest:

1 - install libdb4.1 (using appropriately named RH rpm)
2 - run

    rpm -e bogofilter
    rpm -i bogofilter-static

If you use alternative 2, 'tis likely that "rpm -e" will rename
"/etc/bogofilter.cf" to /etc/bogofilter.cf.rpmsave" and you will have to
manually fix the name afterwards.

Regards,

David
