Hi Roberto,

the log that you link to seems to be for the GHC build, not HaskellDB, 
and it doesn't seem to contain the error messages that you mention. I 
did find the HaskellDB log with the errors at:
http://amd64.ftbfs.de/fetch.php?&pkg=haskelldb&ver=0.9.cvs.601-9&arch=amd64&stamp=1142372938&file=log&as=raw

I think that the stg_ap_p_ret function belongs to the GHC run-time 
system, but I don't know what would cause the linker to not find it.
