Bug#258851: libdb4.0: can't uninstall?

[Jayen Ashar <jashar@picard.res.cmu.edu>]

Actually, this isn't key.  The 3 packages are gaim gaim-common links-ssl.  
gaim and gaim-common, I've held since 0.58.  links-ssl is because the
upgraded version depends on elinks liblua50 liblualib50, which I don't
have selected for install.  These didn't stop me from removing libdb4.1 or
libdb4.2.  I don't know why they would stop me from removing
libdb4.0.  None of the 3 packages have dependencies on libdb4.0, xlibs, or
libxft1.
