                                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The actual file installed won't be /usr/lib/i486-linuxaout/lidb.so.1.
It'll probably be a library in /lib or /usr/lib.  Try:

	dpkg -S libdb*

this should show you which package installs the libdb.xx.xx.xx file where
the x's indicate a version (kinda like libc.so.5 points to libc.so.5.4.44).
