I certany "would NOT" recomend removing "libdbm" even after you have read
the docs, if you do Kerneld for one will baarf, so that means if you have a
modular system, hard luck.
I would need to know a lot more details of the system in question before
saying more, it seems way to big a file, but i would "strongly" advise
against deleting it at this point.
BTW: i only sent this message to the list as it has become unclear just who
