================================================================
+ NOTE: THIS DESCRIPTION APPLIES ONLY TO RPM FROM rpm-4_4_9-internal_bdb BRANCH WHICH IS AVAILABLE IN CVS ONLY FOR NOW.
+ 
  Th RPM conversion process to new rpm using internal BDB 4.5 (there were too many problems with BDB 4.6). Conversion is needed because BDB 4.5 cannot read BDB "Hash version 9" format used in BDB 4.6.
  
  BDB 4.5 is able to read "Hash version 8" and "Btree version 9". Our goal is to convert databases to "Btree version 9" format, upgrade to new rpm, rebuild databases once again and finally live with Hash 8 and/or Btree 9 but NOT Hash 9.
