You're right, I'm dazed and confused ;-}
You did have to make sure that *both* slapd and libsasl use the *same*
libdb; I'll have to do likewise for sendmail.
Why wont libnss-db cause the same problem, it *is* used for host/service
lookups and did cause problems for me before (when glibc used one
version of libdb2, and the db2 packages used a different version).
