On potato, libc6-dev provides it. On woody/sid, libdb2-dev provides it.
However, when I tried to build something on arm woody this morning, it failed because the
installed version of libdb2-dev (2.4.14-2.7.7.1) did not have /usr/lib/libdb.so. Note that
dists/woody/main/Contents-arm.gz does not have that file listed at all. But the Packages file has
libdb2-dev 2.7.7-2.2, that apt was not acknowledging; it gave 2.4.14-2.7.7.1 as the available
version. Very odd.
I solved the problem by manually downloading and installing the newer libdb2-dev. Maybe your
problem is related?
