libdb.so.3 has nothing to do with libdb3. libdb.so.3 is library
interface version 3 of the db (i.e. db1) library; libdb3 provides
libdb3.so.3, which is library interface version 3 of the db3 library.
They're very different as far as the dynamic linker is concerned, even
if the whole situation is a bit confusing.
He needs to upgrade libdb2 (where /lib/libdb.so.3 isn't a symlink,
incidentally ...).
