Sounds like the dbi module has been deprecated: i.e. it's out of date,
and contains ugly code that will eventually be removed. Therefore, you
should change the parts of your code that use it. If you read the
error message, it tells you which up-to-date/better alternatives you
should be using instead.

n.b. this is general information; I have no knowledge of the specific
modules/objects listed.
