After some test i can say that sks does not works with numerix
2.21a. With that version my sks take 100% of my cpu and fails to recon
in a rasonable time...

ATM i've no idea about what is the problem, but i'm working on it.

Is the BigNum implementation of SKS in a good shape? If yes, i think
it is time to remove numerix from sks...

I've found that libdb-4.2 works very well, and no drop & rebuild is
required if this procedure is followed (requires both db4.1-utils and
db4.2-utils debian packages)

su debian-sks
for dbdir in /var/lib/sks/DB /var/lib/sks/PTree; do
    cd $dbdir
    db4.1_checkpoint -1
    db4.1_recover
    db4.2_recover -e
    db4.2_checkpoint -1
    db4.2_archive | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm -f
done

ATM all sks server i own run with libdb-4.2

Best Regards
