I think some suse packages were built with the wrong version of libdb. 
It must be libdb 3.1.17.  For exactly this reason - that the db files
are version independent.

Note also that copying of the db file is not generally guaranteed to
work anyway.  I dont know if the contact system provides an
export/import mechanism as an architecturally neutral transport format.
