There are issues with the way BerkleyDB handles certain files.  Once that we've
not have any time or resources to investigate.  So we're stuck w/ 6.0.35 right
now.  (The issues have to do with journal file generation in a cross environment
with RPM 5.  All I know is that it wasn't working before, most likely due to a
configuration issue, but I've simply had no time to investigate.)

Symptoms:  Either during rootfs generation we get failures or code appears to
work fine the first time through, but as soon as you run it on the target
everything breaks.
