The upgrade which broke the db is probably this one
python2.5 (2.5.1-5ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=medium
* Revert back to use db4.5 for the bsddb3 extension. The DB_HASH access
method databases can lockup the process.
If you upgrade often, you had the bsddb version 4.6 for some time. And
as you probably know, berkeley db files are not compatible between
versions.
The solution could be for apt-listchanges in postinstall try to open the
db, and if it fails, just delete the file.
