Well, it seems the NetBSD community has a patch:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/textproc/ruby-ferret/patches/

Please note, that Fedora applied a bunch of other patches as well before they
removed the package:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-ferret/tree/a0b3fd879133bf69f6ea59d35b54ec857358e959

I haven't checked, if all of them have been applied to the Debian package as
well.

Regards, Daniel
