Every vendor his own...

OK.

You cannot change just the dependency, you'll have to compile bogofilter
against BerkeleyDB.3.3 in the first place - if Mandrake doesn't have
libdb-3.3.so, you can either install using the usual (not ready-to-go)
procedure:

tar -xzvf db-3.3.11.tar.gz
cd mumble
patch <db-3.3.11.1
patch <db-3.3.11.2
cd build_unix
../dist/configure --with-uniquename
make
make install

and build --with-libdb-prefix=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3

As to GSL, I suggest, as before, to use --with-included-gsl - that rids
us of any GSL dependencies and incompabilities. It costs 60 kB. Not
nice, but working.
