Dear Maintainer,

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
