I noticed this morning that sb_filter.py was failing because of some DB-related error. It may have been failing for a while, I'm not sure. I thought I might have dropped some DBM-related Python package by mistake, so I attempted to install python-gdbm. That exhibited an error too:

My attempts to search bugs.debian.org didn't turn up anything that looked relevant, but I might have missed something. Is this a known problem?
