Can you please add which versions of db you have installed? Specifically, do you perhaps have 4.x? Perhaps as a workaround, you can replace the DB module in the core with the equivalent one from CPAN, if you are in a hurry.

The version of DB_File in the perl core is not compatible with the development libdb 4.1 release that you are running. Can you try perl-5.8.0-r11? That version specifically brings in a newer version of DB_File to accommodate db 4.1 users.
perl 5.8.0 is now stable in 1.2 profile
