I tried to convert the hammie.db file using db_expimp.py on a Python 2.2 
installation; however, this failed with an error message.

Also, db_upgrade does not seem to be available on my Mandrake installation, 
and neither is there an RPM package called 'sleepycat'.

Since I cannot wait (I need to check my mail after all, and the spam volume is 
too great to do this manually) I have started with a fresh SpamBayes; I will 
just have to live with a few unsure messages for a while. But I think this at 
least deserves a mention in the documentation as I would probably have been 
able to export my DB before upgrading had I known this.
