Don't use `file' for relative references like this. The `file' form is
intended as a way to reach files that you can't access in the
restricted, portable way that is supported by a plain string. In this
case, you just want a string...

... specifically, just "scribblings/db.ss".

Setup PLT and Planet packaging set the current directory to the one
containing the "info.ss" file when building docs, and I think Planet
probably requires that "info.ss" file to be in the package's root.
Since `interaction-eval' is dynamic, it depends on the current
directory instead of the enclosing file.

This must be a bug in `setup/modcollapse'. Does your code have a
"../generic/connection.ss" relative path somewhere? Or some other form
of reference to "connection.ss"?
