Thank you very much! I was having the same problem and the offending package 
was libopenldap2-2-15 and my installed.db had the following line (please 
excuse the line wrap):

libopenldap2-2-15 
libopenldap2-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2-15-2.2.15-1.tar.bz2

I removed it and the problem went away.

Thanks again Igor,
Pete
