The problem is not that the file IS NOW in libdb-dev in Debian but
that IT WAS. At least I don't believe I ever compiled my own libdb.
As you can see from the above once libdb-dev was updated from 4.6.21-8
to 4.7.25.2 the installation of libdb4.6-dev succeeded.
I'm assuming libdb-dev was renamed to libdb4.6-dev when 4.7 was
uploaded and then a "Replaces: libdb-dev (<< 4.7)" is needed.
