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

It's not possible to remove db5.3 support in forky and provide an
upgrade path from trixie; db5.3 has been the default backend database
for many years.

I am working on support for lmdb + sqlite3 backends upstream, with the
intent of making one of those the default in forky + making use of the
stacked backend for a smooth migration. I can then disable the db5.3
backend entirely for duke.
