dbm doc tells that there is a dbm.bsd module, but no, there is not. The third party module, pybsddb (or "bsddb3"), is installed as "bsddb3".

Python3 dbm module was created by #2881 (r63662).

Some references to dbm.bsd were removed by r72711, but not all.

> Removed in r83231, thanks.

I commited also r83235 to remove references in the source code.

The last reference is the following comment, but I don't know how to fix it:

# some dbm emulations based on Berkeley DB generate a .db file
# some do not, but they should be caught by the bsd checks
