It's possible that either hotkeys or one of it's dependencies was linked
against libdb2 instead of libdb2, thereby confusing the dynamic linker at
runtime when it tries to resolve a duplicate symbol name. I've seen this
before on Alpha, fyi, but not with this package.
Also, don't rule out this in the dependencies:
libxml1 (>= 1:1.8.14-3), libxml2 (>= 2.2.8),
I'm wondering if the above is possible without causing a similar
situation (it's definitely not a good sign, though). If I get some time,
I'll try to properly debug this...
