I have checked the Precise beta-1 release and it seems that a similar problem happens there as well:
nss-updatedb links with libdb4.8, so the NSS database that is created is Berkeley DB version 4.8,
but libnss-db, which reads and uses the database links with libdb5.1.

I am aware that nss-updatedb is in the Universe, while libnss-db is in
main, but I guess that is not enough of a reason to use libdb4.8, right?
Why not use the officially supported libdb5.1?

Title:
  nss-updatedb linked against libdb4.6

Status in “nss-updatedb” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nss-updatedb

  nss-updatedb in Lucid build-depends on libdb4.6-dev and depends on
  libdb4.6.

  It would be nice if it linked with libdb4.8, as this one is on Lucid
  default install, and grabbing nss-updatedb to a fresh lucid pulls
  libdb4.6 from universe.

  I have tested nss-updatedb and it rocks with libdb4.8, so it should
  not be a problem.
