Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libdb2: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2) but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2) but it is not going to be installed
  libdb2-util: Depends: libc6-bin but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

My libc6 version is indicated below.

I will also file a bug report against libdb2-util for depending on
libc6-bin.
