No, the soname is correct:
readelf db/libdb.so.2 
Shared library: [libc.so.6]
Library soname: [libdb.so.2]

The problem is the libdb.so link, if it points to the wrong library
(libdb.so.2 and libdb.so.3 will both be loaded, this seems to fail), or
it tries to link against libdb1.so, which will also fail.

I have append my current patch, it is very short.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
