RHL4.2 errata: db Problem

[Thomas Ribbrock <ribbrock nmrc ucc ie>]

Hi folks,

I've just tried to install/upgrade the db rpm-package mentioned in the
RHL 4.2 erratas. The install failed due to an unresolved dependency:
needs /bin/sh.

I've just upgraded my i586 to RHL4.2 a week ago, and the
bash-package is installed. I even reinstalled it to be sure. Though,
sh is nothing but a link to bash.
The only "real" sh I've found in the package listing was in anonftp -
a package which I definitely don't need...
I finally resorted to installing the db with --nodep, which seems to
work. I'm just curious whether this behaviour is normal or whether I'm
missing something here.

Thanks,

Thomas
