OK. I was able to recreate this when I installed 2.0.5. All modules using
db.* files (counters, ippool, ...) were affected. Turned out that there
is an error in radiusd.conf:

prefix = @prefix@
exec_prefix = @exec_prefix@
sysconfdir = @sysconfdir@
localstatedir = @localstatedir@
sbindir = @sbindir@
logdir = @logdir@
raddbdir = @raddbdir@
radacctdir = @radacctdir@

# Location of config and logfiles.

confdir = ${raddbdir}
run_dir = ${localstatedir}/run/radiusd

# Should likely be ${localstatedir}/lib/radiusd

db_dir = $(raddbdir)   <<==

It should be:

db_dir = ${raddbdir}   (brackets are wrong)
