Public bug reported:

This was found in Debian this past week, and affects our 0.8.3 package
as well.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=594607

>From the debian bug report:

The diff between libdbi 0.8.2 and 0.8.3 includes this:

 /* other type definitions */
 typedef enum {
-  DBI_ERROR_USER = -1, DBI_ERROR_NONE = 0, DBI_ERROR_DBD, DBI_ERROR_BADOBJECT, 
-  DBI_ERROR_BADTYPE, DBI_ERROR_BADIDX, DBI_ERROR_BADNAME, DBI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED
, 
-  DBI_ERROR_NOCONN, DBI_ERROR_NOMEM, DBI_ERROR_BADPTR
+  DBI_ERROR_USER = -10, /* must be the first in the list */
+  DBI_ERROR_DBD = -9,
+  DBI_ERROR_BADOBJECT, 
+  DBI_ERROR_BADTYPE,
+  DBI_ERROR_BADIDX,
+  DBI_ERROR_BADNAME,
+  DBI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED, 
+  DBI_ERROR_NOCONN,
+  DBI_ERROR_NOMEM,
+  DBI_ERROR_BADPTR,
+  DBI_ERROR_NONE = 0,
+  DBI_ERROR_CLIENT
 } dbi_error_flag;

which changes the values of various error constants.  That's an
incompatible ABI change, and should therefore have come with a SONAME
change, AFAICT.
