Description:

Trying to debug why my pacredir setup appears to be non-functional, I noticed this problem with two different machines here.

Additional info:
* Packages:
- testing/gdbm 1.14-1 (was pulled from testing by Scimmia AFAIU)
- extra/avahi 0.7-2
- extra/python 3.6.4-1


Steps to reproduce:

$ avahi-discover
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/avahi-discover", line 62, in <module>
service_type_db = avahi.ServiceTypeDatabase.ServiceTypeDatabase()
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/avahi/ServiceTypeDatabase.py", line 35, in __init__
self.db = dbm.open(filename, "r")
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/dbm/__init__.py", line 91, in open
"available".format(result))
dbm.error: db type is dbm.gnu, but the module is not available
This task depends upon
