dpkg-gem fails to run on ruby 1.8.7
Reported by rasjani | May 25th, 2009 @ 08:52 AM
I have newest ubuntu ruby packages. Installation of dpkg-tools went just fine but when i try to bootstrap first package i get following error:
[sbox-XXXXXX-i386: ~/src/ruby/foobar/temp] > dpkg-gem
dpkg-tools Ignoring LoadError due to too-new Rubygems package
:-(

I have following gems installed on my environment along with their versions:
builder (2.1.2)
dpkg-tools (0.3.5)
hoe (1.12.2)
log4r (1.0.5)
nokogiri (1.2.3)
rake (0.8.7)
raven (1.2.4)
rubyforge (1.0.3)
Ruby version is 1.8.7 (patch level 72), and rubygems is 1.3.1 (both installed from debs)

It's because you're using a too-new version of Rubygems. 0.3.5 needs Rubygems 0.9.4 (dpkg-tools needs to delve fairly deep into the internals).
There's a new version, which I'll try to ship this week, which works with Rubygems 1.3.x (and will have a better documented bootstrap process)
I haven't done any testing with 1.8.7, so if you have any problems with 1.8.7 and Rubygems 0.9.4 please file a new ticket.
