That's not a big problem, the distribution already provides non-conflicting packages db47-tools and db51-tools. The remaining issue I have, preventing rpm -i and rpm -e from working, is: # rpm -e hal rpm: rpmdb.c:2193: rpmmiNext: Assertion `(size_t)p.size == sizeof(mi- >mi_offset)' failed. Aborted and now I wonder if db 5.1 could fix this. I go for a rpm rebuild and see. Thanks.
