Package: libgdbm-dev
Version: 1.14.1-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,



   * What led up to the situation?

Trying to install third party programs ( https://github.com/ocaml/dbm )
that need the header file ndbm.h to compile.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

It seems that libgdbm-dev should provide this file (or a similar one, gdbm-ndbm.h I guess), as stated in the package files listing at https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd64/libgdbm-dev/filelist

It appears many files are missing when comparing the package content to this list.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

No further outcome.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
