[GNC] gnucash complaining about libdbi version

Dear GnuCash community,

for years I've been happily using GnuCash on Windows, storing my data in
mariadb. Unfortunately it now started complaining about the version of
libdbi and I can't use my data anymore. I didn't change anything and even
tried upgrading from 4.13 to 5.3, but to no avail. Removed the program and
reinstalled, but alas. Nothing seems to fix the issue. Can someone help?

The error:
The library "libdbi" installed on your system doesn't correctly store large
numbers. This means GnuCash cannot use SQL databases correctly. Gnucash
will not open or save to SQL databases until this is fixed by installing a
different version of "libdbi". Please see
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611936 for more information.

Thank you!
