IC supports gdbm just fine, you're problem won't be with the version of
IC you're using. Your problem is going to be with gdbm, newer versions
are not backwards compatible and so the gdbm files that were created on
an older distro will very likely not be readable on a newer one. This
is why you always need to export to txt files before moving your
catalogs to a newer OS.
