Please remove everything...I know now what I did wrong and will try
again as soon you give me the go...

I would ask you to hold off on 6.x.  The licence change to AGPLv3+ is
incompatible with a number of packages which use libdb, and therefore
both Fedora and Debian have refrained from upgrading past the latest
5.3 revisions for legal reasons.

I understand this may put you in an uncomfortable position given your
employer, but it is unfortunately necessary.

OK to upgrade to latest 5.3.28 ?
