That is indeed a rather stupid error message: what it tries to say is 
that the only Python dbm modules that are available are not good enough 
for cvs2svn.

So you need to install one that is good enough (such as Sleepycat 
Berkeley DB), but you also need to install the corresponding Python 
module.

Does anyone happen to know about an easy to install DB + Python module? 
Bob, anything in your PackMan database, maybe?
