So I am sorry for this topic. I trusted the documentaton of my distribution.
Not a problem. I just like to correct bad information when I see it. It is not your problem you trusted the documentation.
Ok, I maintain Gnu DBM - Unit furthermore.
I wasn't requesting that you continue to maintain it, but hopefully it won't take much time. Many people still use gdbm. My major point was that gdbm is still being maintained.
One thing furthur I should point out, in defense of the Debian documenters ... gdbm is no longer the "dbm" used by glibc. I believe it is Berkeley db. It would be easy to extend this to say that gdbm is not being maintained. (Which of course, is not true.)
