You can download the latest version (1.0.1-1) from the Anki website:
http://anki.googlecode.com/files/anki_1.0.1-1_all.deb
Once installed, you should find that Anki starts with no issues again - it would however seem that 0.9.9.8.6-2 is indeed broken as I had this problem on both my installations running Maverick.
