Bug#676114: Ruby help needed (Was: Bug#676114: wordnet: FTBFS: debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb:465: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII))

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

Dmitry E. Oboukhov <unera at debian.org> has added some Ruby code to
wordnet packaging (debian/wn-for-goldendict.rb) which worked for two
years and at least up to "Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:45:40 +0200" when I did
the last upload.  Yesterday I wanted to try to fix two (unrelated) open
bugs and realised the FTBFS problem and asked Dmitry for help.  My guess
is that this is connected to the Ruby migration and most probably simple
to fix for a Ruby coder.

The only way *I* could fix the problem would be droping the
goldendict-wordnet binary package again which would definitely not
be the best solution.

Any better hint?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
