Please run "bogofilter -V" to check the bogofilter and Berkeley DB
versions, the first two lines are sufficient. Do this with either
bogofilter version. Remember that if you're inadvertently going forth
and back between Berkeley DB versions, your database environment may
break like this. Going backwards isn't supported (so bogoutil -d before
the upgrade, remove the database, downgrade, bogoutil -l), going
forwards requires you to remove the environment _BEFORE_ the update.

I have rewritten parts of README.db after the 0.93.5 release, hence I'm
adding the rewritten version below, perhaps it can help.
