I had the very same problem, and it looked to me like libdb got updated
and Netatalk couldn't cope.

I didn't take notes, but IIRC there was a conflict between heimdal and
libkrb5/cupsys dev packages. I solved it by allowing heimdal to remain
uninstalled, since I don't use it (or kerberos, for that matter). Then
I removed --enable-krb4-uam and --enable-krbV-uam from the
DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS in debian/rules. Netatalk then built just
fine.
You'll still have to whack the .AppleDB dirs from your shares, but not
the .AppleDesktop or .AppleDouble. Do this while netatalk is not
running.

Sounds like it to me. There's at least a couple of bugs filed against
netatalk for this: #421950 and #435210.
