The problem is that compat-gdbm has no -devel package, and we cannot use
the gdbm-devel package for this.

Since Thorsten Kukuk is unwilling to relicense ypserv to resolve the
licensing conflict, we are left with the following options:

* Modify compat-gdbm to have a true -devel package (this will almost
certainly require namespacing it somehow, like "libgdbm_old.so")

OR

* Have the gdbm upstream relicense to something that is explicitly GPLv2
compatible (or move back to GPLv2+).

OR

* Drop ypserv from Fedora entirely.
