According to README.db, bogofilter is not known to work with anything greater than 4.3.21:
These versions are supported (with all SleepyCat-posted patches applied): [snip] Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.21: (November 8, 2004) Other 3.x or 4.x versions of Berkeley DB may or may not work. The original submitter reports using libdb4.3 4.3.27-1 which is not prohibited by the bogofilter control: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libdb4.3, libgsl0 (>= 1.4) the most recent version of libdb4.3 available in testing is 4.3.27-1 which according to the upstream README.db is not known to be supported. I too experienced odd corruption when bogofilter and libdb4.3 were upgraded in a recent dist-upgrade. It caused massive spam hemmoraghing until I realized that the database was corrupted and I went through a number of recovery solution paths to get it working again (I ended up having to dump the wordlist to a text file, clear out my DB environment and then import my wordlist). I have had no problem since then (I do not have the 48 hour syndrome the original submitter indicates). I suggest either making a versioned depends on libdb4.3 so that people don't upgrade to 4.3.27, until upstream indicates that they support that version, or maybe there is a conversion process that will work that can be scripted?
