libdb_4.2.so dependency problem installing subversion on suse 9

[Sean Moss-Pultz <se...@moss-pultz.com>]

I've been running Subversion on a NT box for almost a year now. No 
complaints at all, just wanted to setup a SuSE 9 Professional system as 
well. I seam to be running into dependency nightmare...

I have apache 2.0.48 and libneon.so.24 installed ok. Libdb_4.2.so seems 
to be giving me troubles now. If it helps I'm using the package from 
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/poeml/

The conflict list looks something like this:

Anyone have some suggestions? Sorry for being such a linux rookie if 
this is a trivial matter.
