I encountered that problem too; eventually I found that installing the libdb2
package solved it.

I get:

	libdb2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdb2.so.2 (0x5002c000)
	libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x50087000)
	libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x500a9000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x500d4000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x50000000)

Note the added "2" after libdb.

The "sendmail" package doesn't list any package dependencies for libdb2;
probably that is the real bug.
