[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#819261: ruby-hivex: LoadError: cannot load such file -- _hivex

[Christian Hofstaedtler]

Package: ruby-hivex
Version: 1.3.13-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

Loading the 'hivex' module installed by ruby-hivex in irb2.2 gives:

% irb2.2
irb(main):001:0> require 'hivex'
LoadError: cannot load such file -- _hivex
        from /usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.2.0/hivex.rb:18:in `<top (required)>'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
        from (irb):1
        from /usr/bin/irb2.2:11:in `<main>'

Indeed, the package only installs hivex.rb, but no C extension.
Also it installs hivex.rb into usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.2.0 without
declaring a dependency on (lib)ruby2.2.

I've also noticed that in d/control, ruby-hivex has Depends:
${python:Depends}, which looks odd.

If possible, please use dh_ruby to build + install (it's part of the
gem2deb package).

Best,
--
