Try installing the Berkley DB3 packages:
---
tony at pythia:~$ apt-cache search db3
db3-doc - Berkeley v3 Database Documentation [html]
libdb3 - Berkeley v3 Database Libraries [runtime]
libdb3++ - Berkeley v3 Database Libraries for C++ [runtime]
libdb3++-dev - Berkeley v3 Database Libraries for C++ [development]
libdb3-dev - Berkeley v3 Database Libraries [development]
libdb3-tcl - Berkeley v3 Database Libraries for TCL [module]
libdb3-util - Berkeley v3 Database Utilities
python-bsddb3 - Python interface to libdb3
---

Use something like:
dpkg -l '*db2*' | egrep ^ii

to work out which v2 libraries you currently have.
