I would ask you to hold off on 6.x.  The licence change to AGPLv3+
is incompatible with a number of packages which use libdb, and
therefore both Fedora and Debian have refrained from upgrading past
the latest 5.3 revisions for legal reasons.

I understand this may put you in an uncomfortable position given
your employer, but it is unfortunately necessary.
OK to upgrade to latest 5.3.28 ?

Yes, please.  While you are at it, could you please add enable some
sqlite features in libdb_sql which are needed by libgda:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/libdb.git/tree/libdb.spec#n223

Could you please delete the current contents of the db directories for both x86 and x86_64 architectures. They still hold the 6.x versions and additionally there are db4.8 related directories in x86 which are wrong.

I want to upload the latest 5.3 versions and obsoleting the db4.8 for x86.

Thanks
  Volker
