Yes, `sdbm` has been removed from the standard library. Thanks for the
bug report, since bsfilter has no automated tests (otherwise we would
have caught this earlier).

I just uploaded a standalone ruby-sdbm package to NEW now, and will
upload a bsfilter update with the right dependency as soon as that's in
the archive.
