I can't speak for the binary RPM listed above, but I just installed from
the source RPM on RH9.0 and it worked fine:
  rpmbuild --rebuild bogofilter-0.13.6.2-1.src.rpm
  rpm --nodeps -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/bogofilter-0.13.6.2-1.i386.rpm

Here's my DB(3|4) list:
  # rpm -qa | grep ^db
  db4-devel-4.1.25-3
  db4-utils-4.1.25-3
  db4-debuginfo-4.1.25-3
  db4-java-4.1.25-3
  db4-4.1.25-3
Those are from the rawhide db4 src rpms.

I did the --nodeps as it was looking for the MIME::Parser Perl module
and couldn't find it in the RPM database; I installed the module via
CPAN.  Perhaps there's a way to tell the RPM db that it is installed.
