[Tts-project] Processed: rulex: Depends on db5.3

[Igor B. Poretsky]

Hello,

Recently I've pushed a few updates to the rulex package
(https://salsa.debian.org/tts-team/rulex) in order to fix the bug. But I
see that the package doesn't build on server complaining about "possible
undefined macros" in autoconf script:

Trying to investigate the situation, I've updated my Debian sid image
and attempted to reproduce it locally, but did not succeed. The package
builds absolutely cleanly without any problem.

Please, tell me what I've probably missed and what should be done
further.

Best regards,
Igor.
