Hi Andreas,

I know this is on your radar, but filing for completeness.

your package depends or otherwise uses db5.3 ("Berkeley DB"). The
upstream of db5.3 has ceased maintaining it, and it is also orphaned
in Debian. See #987013 for discussion. Please update your package to
remove any uses of db5.3 for forky.
If necessary, provide an upgrade path in forky and remove usage in
duke.

Chris

Hello Chris,

I have switched to sqlite in 4.99~RC3-1, and the change is included in
4.99-4 which was uploaded to unstable today.
