In the future, if I'm not the maintainer of a package, don't send me
direct mail about it.  The mailing list is fine.

our problem isn't with sawfish, as such.  You haven't gotten to the
point of actually building sawfish.  The only package that matters for
bug reports is whichever one is failing at the moment.  In this case,
the problem is with either db51-aes or db3, and you should have
addressed any questions to _those_ maintainers, not the maintainer of
sawfish.

same error as you do.  Luckily you don't need the "db51-aes" package at
run-time, so you can just remove it manually and try to install sawfish
again.
