This is basically back to what it was before in recognition of
Berkley DB versions being mutual incompatible.

Until existing packages are recompiled your new final solution will
break recently built packages that expect 4.7 in /opt/csw/lib.
You will have to arrange for atomic release with rebuilds or legacy
4.7 links in the legacy CSWbdb and CSWbdb4 packages.


Affected packages:
    CSWooocore       uses 4.7 from CSWbdb4 (CSWbdb4 uses CSWbdb)
    CSWperl          uses 4.7 from CSWbdb
    CSWpmberkeleydb  uses 4.7 from CSWbdb
    CSWruby          uses 4.7 from CSWbdb
