Actually this would invalidate existing databases, creating extra complications. I have just uploaded a ruby-dbm package to NEW, and made the necessary adjustments to the dhelp git repository to use it. I will make an upload when the new package is accepted. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I imagine the dhelp database is just a cache and can be rebuilt from scratch on upgrades, so one way to fix this would be to migrate to a similar module that is available and probably has a similar enough API, like sdbm (ruby-sdbm). signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#1027407: ruby-rubygems: kernel_require.rb LoadError breaks dhelp
Package: ruby-rubygems Version: 3.3.15-1 Severity: important /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb from ruby-rubygems causes a LoadError which prevents dhelp from updating succcessfully (when packages register a doc-base entry). This affects all other packages (unrelated to ruby) registering with doc-base, hence marking Severity: important The error message (when installing any packing using doc-base, in this case python-lmfit-doc) is Setting up python-lmfit-doc (1.1.0-1) ... Processing triggers for doc-base (0.11.1) ... Processing 1 added doc-base file...
