Alas, there may not be a truly seamless way to handle it.  If the 9.1->9.2
upgrade deleted Python 2.2 and the older version of Berkeley DB (as I
suspect it did), the only real hope to convert the database is if the
Sleepycat utilities RPM is installed.  Kristian, do you have a db_upgrade
executable on your Mandrake 9.2 machine (probably in /usr/bin)?  If so, it
will probably convert your database to the later format.
