I got round this problem by installing the package libdb2 by hand with dpkg. More precisely: dpkg -i libdb2_2%3a2.7.7-8_i386.deb The deb was in /var/cache/apt/archives. The upgrade proceeded more or less smoothly after that, but there was also a problem with exim; I had to create the directory /etc/exim/ manually before the upgraded exim would install. Jim
