I have a few questions on this.

  According to rpm, the db3 package has been installed and the message
  seems to indicate either some missing databases or a problem with db3.
  Is there a way to determine what caused the errors?

  How serious is this?  The system seems to be working, but I'm not sure
  what pieces would be broken, or what would trigger an error.

Thanks,

	--Tom
