[DRE-maint] Bug#1121060: version of dependency on ruby-selenium-webdriver has to be adjusted

[Jörg-Volker Peetz]

I just wanted to add, that also upgrading the ruby-selenium-webdriver package 
from 4.4.0-1 to 4.38.0-1 makes redmine here working again.
Maybe redmine needs a lower limit for ruby-selenium-webdriver ?

Regards,
Jörg.
