It never fails (bsddb retirement in 2.3)

Quick report from the field. I'm getting an error here:

(Sorry about the linebreaks, but that should convey the relevant part
of the build...)  I will see if I can figure out what's going on myself,
but if someone else can help, that would be great.

Thanks for all your help, Skip... You've been a marvel of understanding
and patience!
