[Tutor] Berkeley db incompatibility

I don't know that this is a tutor topic, but since I'm a python newbie,
I'll try.

Building python-2.4 with db-4.3.27 fails on an undefined enum, DB_LSTAT_ERR
resulting in no bsddb module.  It looks like the sleepycat folks decided to
break backwards compatibility by dropping this out of the enum.

I've tried google to find a fix, but haven't found anything yet.

Is there a recommended fix for this?
