[DRE-maint] Bug#1069089: ruby-rubygems: Broken platform detection which lead to unability to install sass-embedded

[Simon Elst]

Package: ruby-rubygems
Version: 3.4.20-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: s at nedra.be


   * What led up to the situation?
Trying to build a website with Jekyll (through "bundle exec jekyll serve").

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
1. Running "bundle" on a Jekyll fresh new site with "minimal" template
2. Installing missing gem ("sass-embedded") with "gem install" command, and
then running "bundle exec jekyll serve".

   * What was the outcome of this action?
1. Bundler::HTTPError: Could not download gem from https://rubygems.org/ due to
underlying error <bad response Forbidden 403 (https://rubygems.org/gems/sass-
embedded-1.75.0-x86_64-linux.gem)>
2. Install works, but it brings "sass-embedded (1.75.0 x86_64-linux-android)"
instead of "[...]-linux-gnu)". Then, the bundle exec command fails :
"Conversion error: Jekyll::Converters::Scss encountered an error while
converting 'assets/main.scss': Broken pipe"

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Bundle should install sass-embedded (linux-gnu).

It looks like it is related to a patch in Debian version (3.4.20) that breaks
platform detection. The bug is pointed out here :
