Have a look in /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p4:4.7/ . In
particular, look at the USE, IUSE and USE_EXPAND files.

What's happened is that a package manager (either Portage, which never
validates, or earlier versions of Paludis, which only did partial
validation) has written invalid data to one or more of those files
when you installed db, probably because you had something strange in
use.conf or in USE in make.conf. So we'll need to track down what that
is, and fix the file in question (and probably fix a bunch of other
packages with the same problem too...).
