I had the very same problem, and it looked to me like libdb got updated and Netatalk couldn't cope.

I didn't take notes, but IIRC there was a conflict between heimdal and libkrb5/cupsys dev packages. I solved it by allowing heimdal to remain uninstalled, since I don't use it (or kerberos, for that matter). Then I removed --enable-krb4-uam and --enable-krbV-uam from the DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS in debian/rules. Netatalk then built just fine.

You'll still have to whack the .AppleDB dirs from your shares, but not the .AppleDesktop or .AppleDouble. Do this while netatalk is not running.

Sounds like it to me. There's at least a couple of bugs filed against netatalk for this: #421950 and #435210.
