Low Sensitivity/Aerospace Internal Use
Only

I noticed that the new OpenLDAP-LTB RPMs for CentOS are dependent on berkeleydb-4.7,
but they are failing and referencing berkeleydb-4.6.  It's kind of
confusing.

So build your OpenLAP against a different version of BDB. ;)  As I
noted, 
5.2.36 has worked fine for me for several years. ;)

The primary OpenLDAP author just asked you to contribute more information,
so I wouldn't be too concerned about resurrecting the bug...
