I had a similar experience. Any modification to the database with certutil
suddenly made the legacy database error pop up. I assumed it was some
change in the underlying system or certutil utility. The cleanest way I was
able to get it to resolve it was to create a new, empty database in another
location and then use the --merge option to merge the original db into the
empty one. Then I could delete the old cert and add the new one without
issue.
