Could you please delete the current contents of the db directories for 
both x86 and x86_64 architectures.
They still hold the 6.x versions and additionally there are db4.8 
related directories in x86 which are wrong.

I want to upload the latest 5.3 versions and obsoleting the db4.8 for x86.

Thanks
   Volker
