    Hi Vince, 
    Looks like you have installed some RPMs from other site than AIX toolbox.
    In this case db4 rpm is coming from somewhere else and providing the same files as provided by db package of AIX toolbox.
    So when you try to install a package or update existing packages using dnf it tries to install db package from AIX toolbox because of dependency
    but then it finds that same files are owned by db4 package and hence conflct.
    If the name of packages would have been same then it would have worked but in this case one package is db and other is db4.
    To resolve this issue you should remove db4 package from system, it is possible this package is required by some other PRMs (those also comes from other repo) then remove them also and install them from AIX toolbox. 
    Having packages from different repo can cause this kind of conflicts.
