I know what I'm doing. I still don't want to re-install libraries just
because some library has chosen to remove the header files of another.

That was exactly my point: I don't *want* glibc to remove these
headers, as it would remove the DB 3.1 headers, not the ones of its
earlier release. So it would hurt if it did remove them.

Martin
