What I do is install the db42-4.2.52 (rpm -ivh db42-4.2.52) so it doesn't 
try to erase the old db4 packages.  Then they are both installed at the 
same time.  Hopefully that will help you out.

Keep me posted, but please post on users@subversion.tigris.org so others 
can benefit as well.

Not for its functionality, although the automatic log-file removing function
is nice. It is needed for Subversion stability though. Other BDB versions
had mild or major stability problems when either running extremely long or
on certain platforms.

Is the db-4.2 rpm really needed for subversion's functionality? I am
building/using the rpms at http://ATrpms.net/name/subversion/ and
haven't seen any problems (they are built against the vendor shipped
db4 rpms).
