I am not a Linux person. I'm not experienced in all this RPM stuff.
Looks like you have DB 1.85, which is very old.

Heck, and some gdbm stuff.

And DB3.

Yes. Probably best to make it use DB3, but you'll have to make sure you
get the correct db.h. I have several DBMs installed on my system for
testing, but I keep them in separate directories. My Local/Makefile
contains
USE_DB=yes
INCLUDE=-I/opt/local/include/db-3
DBMLIB=/opt/local/lib/db-3/libdb.a
when I want to use DB3 (but I'm using Solaris 8, not Linux).
