Because of the problems with 'libdb3-dev', the experimental amd64 and 
ppc64 archives currently use a patched version of 'libgnome-dev' 
which depends on 'libdb4.3-dev' instead of 'libdb3-dev'.

The 'libguppi-dev' package also explicitly Depends on 'libdb3-dev'
which causes similar problems.

Thank you for your help!
