Hi Jan,
Looks like db4 package is installed from some other source. AIX toolbox does not have db4-4.8.30.
I think what is happening here is db4-4.8.30 (db4) package name is different than db-5.3.28 (db) and hence conflict is coming.
If db4 would have been same name (db-4.8.30) then db-5.3.28 would have updated. In your case two different packages (because package names are different db4 and db) are owning same file. Can you please share output of following command.
# rpm -qa db4
To install db-5 you will have to remove db4
