DbUnit was deprecated recently https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/dbunit/issues/217

The only uses are:

1. Directly:
   1. lib/phpunit/classes/arraydataset.php
   2. lib/tests/statslib_test.php
2. advanced_testcase::createFlatXMLDataSet
   (Unused in core)
3. advanced_testcase::createXMLDataSet

5. advanced_testcase::loadDataSet
   1. mod/data/tests/search_test.php
6. advanced_testcase::createArrayDataSet
   (Unused in core)
7. References to DbUnit:
