Recently I upgraded one of my servers from Ubutnu Server 11.10 to 12.10 (via 12.04). Unfortunteatley, this broke AFP.
When connecting, I got the error “Something wrong with the volume’s CNID DB“.
I’m pretty sure I’ve had this error before, but the standard fix of deleting .AppleDB didn’t work.
After reading a few more up-to-date tutorials and verifying my configurations, I finally sussed it.
[code lang=”bash”]root@burns:/home/iain# dbd
dbd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[/code]
So I checked to see if I had this anywhere.
[code lang=”bash”]root@burns:/home/iain# locate libdb-4.8[/code]
No results.
[code lang=”bash”]root@burns:/home/iain# locate libdb
…

…[/code]
That was handy, so I installed it.
[code lang=”bash”]root@burns:/home/iain# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libdb4.8_4.8.30-11ubuntu1_amd64.deb

After deleting .AppleDB for good measure and restarting Netatalk, all was well.
I have no idea why this was missing, or whether it is the correct fix but it seems to work without side effects. If you don’t have the .deb, I guess this would also work:
[code lang=”bash”]apt-get install libdb4.8[/code]
