It needed db42-devel not db42 for the devel package but I am not sure
where the libdb-4.2.so comes from

Try using "yum update <package> to update a specific package.  It
handles the dependencies for you. "yum install <package>" does the same
for installing new packages.

Yes, rpm checks all that depend on the package being changed and will
warn you and prevent the update/install until dependencies are resolved
or you tell it to ignore the dependencies (NOT recommended).
