I don’t think that is the core of the problem.  The current version of 
selenium-webdriver is 4.38.0, which is satisfied by the >= 4.4.0 constraint.

Rather, I think the cause of the problem is that redmine is caught up in the 
auto-upperlimit-ruby-zip transition, but doesn’t know about it.

https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-upperlimit-ruby-zip.html

I think I am going to place upper-limit constraints in debian control to match 
those in the Gemfile, which should allow Debian to add redmine to the list of 
these types of transitions.

That won’t fix the problem immediately, but it will fix it in the future once 
the version with the upper-limit constraints has migrated to testing.

That is an artifact of the fact that ruby-selenium-webdriver is also part of 
the auto-upperlimit-ruby-zip transition.  To see this, open the following link 
and click on the “good” checkbox.

https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-upperlimit-ruby-zip.html

Basically, the older version of ruby-selenium-webdriver is sufficient for 
redmine, but you cannot install the necessary version of ruby-zip unless you 
upgrade ruby-selenium-webdriver to a version supported by the current version 
of ruby-zip.

If you are running testing or unstable, apt is smart enough to figure this out 
automatically.  But if you are cherry-picking packages for a stable 
environment, you will need to handle this yourself.

Adding appropriate constraints to debian/control will make redmine appear in 
future transition trackers for changes like these.  It will also prevent it 
from migrating from unstable to testing in an uninstallable way, which 
currently it will do in the next two days, because all of the necessary 
packages can currently only be satisfied in unstable, but Debian doesn’t know 
that.  Note that fixing this in unstable, which I plan to do today, will not 
prevent the migration, because the version in testing needs these constraints 
to work.  But it will fix the problem for the future.
