Yeah, that was it.  Jeez, what a pain in the butt...  First I had to 
figure out what version of libdb the new Perl was using; it looked 
like libdb4.2, according to the dependencies.  OK, where are the db_* 
utilities for libdb4.2?  Hmm, there don't seem to be any Debian 
packages for that, but there's a libdb3-util package which contains 
db3_update and related programs; I wonder if that'll work?  Well, one 
way to find out is to back everything up and give it a try...  Yup, 
that solves the warnings from MJ2; however, the db3_verify program 
gripes about warnings and errors with quite a few of the files... 
OK, use "db3_dump -r" to dump a recovery version of each .D that it's 
complaining about, move the originals aside, and use db3_load to 
create a new one from the dump...  Yup, that seems to have worked, so 
far...

So much for going to the gym this morning.

Anyway, thanks for the clue that got me headed in the right direction!
