[DRE-maint] Bug#894248: ruby-sprockets: warning during update of any ruby package

[Jörg-Volker Peetz]

Package: ruby-sprockets
Version: 3.7.0-1
Severity: minor

Dear Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers,

having installed redmine and its ruby dependency packages, these
warnings appear

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/sprockets/digest_utils.rb:47: warning: constant
::Fixnum is deprecated
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/sprockets/digest_utils.rb:51: warning: constant
::Bignum is deprecated
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/sprockets/processor_utils.rb:110: warning: constant
::Fixnum is deprecated
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/sprockets/processor_utils.rb:111: warning: constant
::Bignum is deprecated

when updating any of the ruby packages.
Would it help to use the newer upstream version of ruby-sprockets?

Regards,
Jörg.
