That is strange, where does the /usr/lib/evolution/2.6/libdb-4.4.so file
come from? If I am to trust apt-file then libdb-4.4.so should be located
in /usr/lib/ and it should come from package libdb4.4.
  

there is a symlink to /usr/lib/libdb-4.4.so

Can you post the output of the following four commands:
dpkg -l evolution\* libdb4.4 | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $1,$2,$3}'
  

ii evolution 2.6.3-6etch1
ii evolution-common 2.6.3-6etch1

I think the evolution problem might be due to a stray
library, left over from, for example, an installation of non-Debian
OpenOffice.org packages.
  

There was no NON-DEBIAN software installed before the upgrade, no one program or package from outside of the original Debian release.
