compat-db-devel doesn't exist. I was trying to say, that Requires: db4 = 4.3.29
and similar won't work any more in rawhide so it has to be changed to something like
Requires: compat-db >= 4.3.29 (recommended). Or something uglier like
to require the library directly: Requires: libdb-4.3.so and libdb-4.3.so()(64bit)
in case of 64bit arches, what is really ugly.
