I had a similar experience. Any modification to the database with certutil suddenly made the legacy database error pop up. I assumed it was some change in the underlying system or certutil utility. The cleanest way I was able to get it to resolve it was to create a new, empty database in another location and then use the --merge option to merge the original db into the empty one. Then I could delete the old cert and add the new one without issue.

Ah, OK - thank you.
I really just followed the documentation here - but I'll try that next
time.
