did you install 2.3.5 yourself, or via RPM (or whatever trustix is using) ?

if you built it yourself, the RPM database will not know about it; on the
other hand, all you need to do to fix that is to look for a gdbm package
for trustix, install it, and rebuild Python.

if this isn't enough to get you unstuck, it might be a good idea to check
with some trustix support forum.
