Only bundler or rubygems checks this dependency requirement. It might 
just work fine on ruby 3.1. For now the easiest fix was to update to 
4.0 (for gitlab, where this bug appeared - in gitlab postinst, we use 
bundle install --local to verify all dependency requirements are 
satisfied), in which upstream has removed this constraint. May be we 
can ignore it for now (lowered the severity, as gitlab is not in 
bookworm).
