Hi Chris,
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.
Rebuilding an existing "ovdb" overview is feasible with the makehistory
program but it implies downtime (a few minutes to several hours
depending on the size of the news spool). A user may not expect that
and should be warned... At least it should be explicitly mentioned in
the forky release notes.
We'll have to make the user choose another overview method or force one
(ovsqlite perhaps?) and remove old manual pages and programs (ovdb_init
and like).
