Bug Description

Tried to install libetpan-dev on my lucid box.

# apt-get install libetpan-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libetpan-dev: Depends: libdb4.7-dev (>= 4.7.25-6) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

This is because libdb4.8-dev replaced libdb4.7-dev for most purposes... I can't install libdb4.7-dev, as it would remove 4.8 and break a ton of other packages.
