We are, thankfully, down to one gnutls, one gcrypt, and one sasl in sarge;
and AFAIK libdbs have been fixed long ago not to conflict.

There is still one outstanding issue in sarge with the fact that libldap2
currently provides both libldap.so.2 and libldap_r.so.2 with identical
exported symbols, differing only in the claim that one is thread-safe.  This
is fixed in libldap2 2.1.30-7 in unstable by making one a symlink to the
other, but bug #309485 is keeping this out of testing for the moment.

Jay, taking care to run rm -f /usr/lib/libldap.so.2.0.15 before doing so,
would you mind upgrading to the libldap2 from unstable to see if it fixes
your problem?
