I got that grep rpm -ql output on a CentOS 5 system with
rpm-4.4.2-47.el5.  I see the same file on rpm-4.4.2-48.el5 on a
slightly newer system.  It is not there on a CentOS 4.5 system.

That machine has /usr/bin/db_recover as part of the package
db4-utils-4.2.52-7.1 which may work.

People who relieve others of their money with guns are called robbers. It
does not alter the immorality of the act when the income transfer is
carried out by government.
